re Note 1004.0 by FRETZ::HEISER:

>     Who are you *IN* Christ?  What is your position *IN* Him?
  
        I usually think in terms of Christ's spirit *in* ME, as
        opposed to the other way around.

1004.2Who I Am (In Christ)STRATA::BARBIERIGod cares.Tue Nov 01 1994 13:257
      I am Tony Barbieri with 100% of Christ's righteoussness imputed
      and at least some of it imparted.  The darkness that is my heart
      has seen and responded by faith to at least some light.  And
      Jesus can impart all of His righteoussness if I have the oppurtunity
      to behold all the light.

    Bob, with Christ's spirit in you, where does that leave you?

1004.4The Feast of All SaintsCOVERT::COVERTJohn R. CovertTue Nov 01 1994 14:1837
In Christ, I am a member of the Communion of Saints, together with all
baptized Christians.  A soldier in God's army.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
Who thee, by faith, before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed.  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might:
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, the one true Light. A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

And when the strife is fierce the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again and arms are strong.  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on his way.  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!

From earth's wide bounds, from oceans farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,  A-a-le-e-lu-ia, A-a-a-le-lu-ia!
