What happens when we are in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

When we are in Christ, we are eternally secure and no longer subject to condemnation.

Being in Christ means that we are free from condemnation and safe from the judgment that our sins deserve. Romans 8:1 declares, 'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' This state of being in Christ is akin to the manslayer being in the city of refuge; as long as he remained within its boundaries, he was safe. When we come to Christ in faith, we are fully accepted and safe in Him, just as if we had been in Him for years. Furthermore, Christ, our High Priest, not only provided our salvation by His death but continues to intercede for us, ensuring our eternal security (Hebrews 7:25). Thus, being found in Christ provides believers with the assurance of everlasting life.
