"In Christ" is a phrase found nearly 90 times in Paul's letters. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17). To be "in Christ" means to be in union with Him, one with him and incorporated in him, so that God sees us "in Christ" qualifying us for our inheritance. This concept is to be identified with Christ as the Second Adam.
