"However we may express it, the kernel of Christian experience is what S. Paul expresses by his repeated phrase 'In Christ'," writes Temple. "To problem after problem he applies the same solution. We are in Christ; He has taken possession of us so completely that whatever is true of Him is true of us also. Has He suffered the death-penalty due to sin? Then so have we. Has He risen from that death to life indissoluble? Then so have we. Is He enthroned in the heavenly sphere? Then so are we. We do not have to win our ascent from earth to heaven; it has been won for us. Our citizenship is in heaven—now. Our part is not to find the way there, but being there, to live worthily of our station."
