'In Christ' in the Bible

Paul, by God's will an apostle of Christ Jesus, to God's people who are steadfast in Christ Jesus;

He has given us perfect insight into his secret purpose and understanding of it, in following out the design he planned to carry out in Christ,

and in arranging, when the time should have fully come, that everything in heaven and on earth should be unified in Christ??11 the Christ through whom it is our lot to have been predestined by the design of him who in everything carries out the purpose of his will,

to win praise for his glory, by having been the first to believe in Christ.

fulfilling the eternal purpose which God carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But each one of us has been given mercy in Christ's generous measure.

until we all attain unity in faith, and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and reach mature manhood, and that full measure of development found in Christ.
