Salvation is Positional John 5: Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. NASU

2 Timothy 2: For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.NASU

God has often put blessings in a Specific Place Genesis 6:17-19 (NASB) 17 "And behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. 18 "But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19 "And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

1 Peter 3: who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. 21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you — not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience — through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, NASU

Exodus 12:7 - 'Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.

Joshua 2: Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall, so that she was living on the wall. 16 She said to them, “Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not happen upon you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.” 17 The men said to her, “We shall be free from this oath to you which you have made us swear, 18 unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather to yourself into the house your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father’s household. 19 “It shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be free; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him. 20 “But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be free from the oath which you have made us swear.” 21 She said, “According to your words, so be it.” So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window. NASU

What Blessings Are Found in Christ? IN CHRIST IS Reconciliation, redemption, and forgiveness of sins Ephesians 2:12- — remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

Ephesians 1:7- In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us

Colossians 1: For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Romans 3: even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; NASU 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

1 Peter 2:24- and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. NASU

IN Christ we are new Creatures; Creations Romans 6: Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:6-7 - knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 2 Corinthians 5:17 — If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Free from condemnation in Christ Romans 8:1 —Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. NASU

Grace is in Christ 2 Timothy 2:1 —You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Galatians 5:4 — You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

Salvation from sin in Christ 2 Timothy 2:10 —For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory. NASU Acts 4:12 — Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Ephesians 5:23- For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. NASU

Acts 2:41 –So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. NASU Acts 2:47 - praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. The KJV translates … The Lord added to the church.

1 Corinthians 12:13 - For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, NASU

The love of God is in Christ Romans 8:39 —nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. NASU

Eternal life in Christ 1 John 5:11-12 — God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

All spiritual blessings in Christ Ephesians 1:3 — God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ

How Do We ENTER into Christ? outside IN To Be in Christ One Must First Come into Christ I can say of my life there was a time when I was not IN Christ… and then there was a moment of time when I was IN Christ and was no longer outside..

Romans 6:3 — Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Galatians 3:27 — For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:13 – “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body”
