In Christ and In Spirit

I learned that there is a difference between the two. Do You know what the differences are? I was surprised, but delighted that I know now, helps me a lot..In Christ applies more to the involvement in the body of Christ. In Spirit means that you or I have totally surrendered our individual selves to the Holy Spirit's control. Interesting, huh? I thought about this difference for awhile and thought to myself...although I like the "in Christ" a lot it actually is talking my being involved actively in the church, which is the way it should be, however; "in spirit" or "in the spirit" means I should be like what Paul said...I no longer live but Christ lives within me. I am totally surrendered to the Spirit of God and He reveals more of Christ to me and then as my eyes open and as heart receives the revelation from the Holy Spirit, then I will continually serve Christ tirelessly which is what in Christ means, and I serve Christ with such zeal and fervency because I am in the Spirit completely.

whose child am I?

I remember back in the 80s there was a song called..I'm nobody's child..back then the tune was so catchy as were the words, 10 or more years later as I sit here posting these comments, a thought came to me, how can someone be nobody's child when someone gave birth to him? so, in my thinking whatever habits I have constitutes whose child I am. right? someone's good and bad habits influenced my way of acting or reacting, someone's good and bad habits influenced my way of thinking and my way of doing things. So, if I know who my parents are, which side do my actions lean more to? dad or mom? for myself, I was blessed with 3 dads and 3 moms each one unique in their ways. They each had good and bad habits, and some of those habits whether good or bad filtered into my life, some unbeknownest to me. In 1973, I became a born again person and all that Paul said in 2Corin.5:17 became the truth in my life. So, I am no longer my dads or moms child, but I am my Father's child.. *********** So, I have to work at that everyday...I no longer live, but HE lives within me and the life I now live, I live by faith in Him who gave His life for me.
