Why is being 'in Christ' essential for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Being 'in Christ' is essential because all spiritual blessings and completeness are found in Him alone (Ephesians 1:3).

'In Christ' is a foundational doctrine that underscores the entire Christian faith. According to Ephesians 1:4, God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, highlighting that our identity and completeness come from our union with Christ. This connection means that Christ's righteousness, holiness, and redemption are imputed to believers, making us acceptable before God. Being in Him signifies that we are no longer under condemnation, as our sins have been atoned for, and we now stand perfect in the sight of God, fully equipped to live for His glory.
