A crucified Christ took my place in death and judgment; and gives me His place in life and righteousness (1 Cor. 2:2²For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. (1 Corinthians 2:2); Rom. 6:10,11¹⁰For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:10‑11); 2 Cor. 5:21²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21).)

A risen Christ, having defeated all my foes, is the everlasting witness that God is for me (Rom. 8:34³⁴Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. (Romans 8:34).)

An ascended Christ has broken all my links with earth, and formed them all afresh in heaven (Eph. 4:10¹⁰He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) (Ephesians 4:10).)

A glorified Christ is the divine answer to every accusation of sin and Satan; and is the One to whom I am now livingly united by His Spirit. (1 Peter 1:21²¹Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. (1 Peter 1:21); 1 Cor. 6:17; 12:12, 13¹⁷But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:17)
¹²For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. ¹³For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:12‑13).)

A coming Christ will change me, in a moment, into His own heavenly image and likeness, that I may, through God's eternal day, be the perfect expression of His own divine will and pleasure (Phil. 3:20, 21²⁰For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: ²¹Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (Philippians 3:20‑21); 1 John 3:2²Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2).)
