What's it mean..."in Christ"

"what's it mean, in Christ?" Eph 2:6 "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus" We don’t actually sit in the heavenly places with Christ Jesus, at least not yet. Instead, we sit in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So our life and identity is in Christ, as He sits in heavenly places, so do we. It's an anticipation if you wiil, and it's all because of Jesus! This can be our present position as a follower of Jesus Christ...as a Christian. We have a new place for living, even a new reason for living... our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20) But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ...So as I struggle thru this life, this every-day-fight-to-survive, I can try to remember an adopt this new attitude of "just-passin'-thru"...."Thank You Jesus!"
