Believers are secured by the supernatural glue of the Trinity.  To be separated from Christ would require prying open the hand of the Father (John 10:29) and being snatched from the Son (v. 28) after breaking the seal of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13-14).

Jesus became one of us so that we could be one of His.  In securing our salvation, God did more than forgive us; He made us members of His family (Eph. 2:19).  Just as a new born baby girl arrives with a genetic code that is permanently hers, each spiritually born-again person receives a spiritual genetic code (2 Cor. 5:17-18).  In accepting Christ and bonding ourselves to Him through faith, each one of us becomes a new creation with forgiveness for sins in the past, guidance and nurture for the present, and security and hope in the future (2 Cor. 5:17).

“IN SECURING SALVATION, GOD DID MORE THAN FORGIVE US; HE MADE US MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY.”

We have access to all that Jesus is; we, as joint heirs, potentially have all He has (Rom. 8:17).  God hears us because He hears Christ (Heb. 4:14-16) and loves us the way He loves Christ (Rom. 8:39).  In a nutshell, identity in Christ means every child of God can point to Jesus and before the Father’s throne testify: “I’m with Him”.
