One with My Lord: The Life-Changing Reality of Being in Christ

What if being “in Christ” changed everything—because it actually does?

While we often call ourselves Christians, the New Testament points to an even deeper identity: those who are in Christ. It’s more than a phrase—it’s a life-changing reality. But without understanding what that really means, it’s easy to live disconnected from the hope and strength Jesus offers.

So—what is the significance of being in Christ?

It means you are united with Jesus in every way. His death becomes your freedom, His resurrection becomes your new life, and His presence becomes your constant companion. Being “in Christ” gives you a secure identity, a lasting belonging, and a new lens to see every part of life—your struggles, relationships, purpose, and worship.

One with My Lord is a devotional guide to help you live from that truth—every day. With short, Scripture-rich chapters, it invites you to slow down and reflect on what the Bible says about who you are in Him—and how that shapes your holiness, your community, your worship, and your sense of belonging. This is more than just a devotional; it’s an identity in Christ Bible study that will help you grow deeper in your faith and understanding of God’s transformative love.

In a world that tells you to build your identity from the ground up, this book gently reminds you: your truest identity is already secure—in Christ.

• Accessible: Short chapters rooted in New Testament truth—ideal for daily reading
• Practical: Helps you view your life, faith, and relationships through the lens of being “in Christ”
• Identity-Forming: A timely reminder that you don’t have to find yourself—you already belong
