Man in Christ

From: A Dictionary of Biblical Words and Phrases

By: Alfred Taylor Schofield

This expression is found in 2 Cor. 12:2²I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. (2 Corinthians 12:2). There is no stress here on the word “man” as implying development as in Eph. 4:13¹³Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (Ephesians 4:13). It is the same word as 1 Tim. 6:11¹¹But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (1 Timothy 6:11), and simply means “a new man.”
