ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

"be strong in the grace that is ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ (in Christ Jesus)"
Kevin Vanhoozer observes the Apostle Paul “uses the phrase ‘in Christ’ (ἐν Χριστῷ) seventy-three times. When we add other ways of expressing union with or participation in Christ (e.g., ‘in him,’ ‘with Christ,’ ‘through Christ’), the number of Pauline instances more than doubles, to 164 instances.” Most importantly, the expression “in Christ” works in two directions. While Christ dwells in believers, it is believers who find their whole identity, purpose, and meaning from being “in Christ”. Because this truth so gripped me when I first believed, it is only fitting I title this blog ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ (in Christ Jesus).

Paul D. AdamsContent here represents my reading and research in theology, philosophy, apologetics, and Christian thought. The debt I owe to those who have written so well is so very large and I am grateful for their inspiration and companionship on my journey of faith. I could not have penned a fraction of these gleanings were it not for their input into my intellectual and spiritual life. I'm thankful also for your patient reading and listening to the content here.
