🌺Beloved, the Bible presents numerous benefits of being “in Christ,” including salvation and forgiveness of sins, a restored relationship with God (peace with God, access to Him, and adoption into His family), the indwelling Holy Spirit for guidance and transformation, inner peace and joy, eternal life and hope, spiritual growth and righteousness, and being an heir with Christ.
