Rev. Jeremiah Johnston of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, reflects on Ephesians 1:3 and what it means to be united 'in Christ' and as a church.
'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens' . This passage comes from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians. In the letter, Paul addresses the Gentile believers in Christ and encourages a sense of Christian unity, Rev. Jeremiah Johnston told Fox News Digital. Johnston is pastor of apologetics at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas. He's also president of the Christian Thinkers Society.
That is, when we as Christians think about who we are, we are primarily to understand ourselves as being someone who is 'in Christ,'' Johnston said — meaning we are 'accepted, forgiven, forever loved and connected to our creator and savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.'
