In Christ...

Philemon 1:6: ...that the communication of they faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

As I was reading through Colossians the other day, it struck me just how much me God has given a believer by placing him 'in Christ', and how much this should impact my life. So here is a compilation of what exactly is 'in Christ.'
