Am I In Christ?

There is nothing wrong with asking the questions, “am I in Christ?” or “am I really saved?” 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says, “test everything; hold fast what is good.” Why would you think it is healthy for us to ask these questions?

Have you ever felt doubtful of your relationship with Christ? Did you feel like your doubt was due to your inability to properly obey God or God’s inability or lack of love towards you?

What are some of the blessings we can enjoy when we are in Christ? Do you have any personal experiences with these blessings that you can share with your group?

What must we do to come into a relationship with Christ?

What does it mean to “Follow Jesus”? How does the idea of commitment relate to this?

At what point does our relationship with Jesus start and we begin to enjoy the blessings in Christ?

Is it possible to know for certain if we are in Christ? Why or why not?

As a study group, look up some of the “in Christ” statements in scripture and make a list of God’s blessings for those “in Christ.” For those of you that are Christians, what are some of the blessings you have personally experienced by being in Christ?

Are you “in Christ”? Have you followed God’s instructions to be in Christ? Discuss these things with your group. If you want to study this topic further, consider studying the course, “In Need of a Savior”. You can also invite one of our Mathetis Mentors into your group, who are Christians who have volunteer to assist groups requesting a guide for their study.
