When Paul says that Andronicus and Junia were in Christ before him, he is simply telling us that they were converted by the grace of God before he was. It is a great blessing to be saved by the grace of God early in life. But each of God’s elect are saved by his grace precisely at Gods appointed time of love for them. The matter of great importance and blessedness is being “in Christ.” — Are you “in Christ?” — Am I “in Christ?” Be sure you understand this. — All who are in Christ are one, one in Christ, one with Christ, and equals in Christ.
