The difference between Christ in you and you in Christ.
Eph. 1:3  All blessings are in Christ.
Eph. 1:17-23
Eph. 3:14-19  Filled with the fulness is the “in Christ” position
How do we get to the “in Christ” position?  By profound repentance.
How  does that come about?  We repent when we see that something in our life doesn’t line up with the cross.
Romans 12:1-
1 John 4:3-6
John 14:20

Discussion of Gary’s teaching yesterday (unrecorded).
Matt 18: 1-3  Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Psalm 130
Eph. 1:15-23
Colossians 1:23-29  Christ in you is the hope of glory but not the glory itself.  You in Christ is the fulness of His glory.
There is no private interpretation of scripture.  If we are trying to figure out what it means, we are probably trying to justify rebellion.

Romans 3:21-24
1 Cor 1:18 – The foolishness of preaching the cross, not the history of the cross but our death  on the cross.
The cross is the stumblingblock.
Sanctification is becoming as the little child, returning to innocence. We can only do this through the cross and repentance.
Holiness and sanctification are the same.  It is the “faith alone” position.
2 Cor 5:13 – 17
