What does it mean to be 'in Christ' according to the sermon?

Answered in 4 sources

Being 'in Christ' means to be united with Him in His death and resurrection, enjoying the benefits of His sacrifice.

To be 'in Christ' reflects a profound union with Him, where believers partake in all that He has accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection. In the context of the sermon, it emphasizes that just as the Israelites were safe in their homes with the blood of the lamb applied, believers are safe in Christ. This means that they are covered by His blood, justified, and granted eternal life. This relationship is not based on mere profession or understanding of facts but is evidenced by an active, living faith—illustrated as feasting on the Lamb. Those 'in Christ' are also assured of being kept secure, as nothing can separate them from the love of God.
