Spiritual Renewal - Your Position In Christ

Your "position" is connected to your spiritual walk. Our position of who we are is settled in Jesus Christ. It liberates us to live and understand that once we are settled in Christ, we no longer live to get approval from God. 

There is a divine order under grace first to give/restore to us the highest possible standing, and then exhort us as believers to maintain a condition according to the standard on which we stand. 

Hebrews 10:19-21 explains how we were washed by the blood of Jesus, but it wasn't our conduct that was washed; it washed our consciousness of guilt. Therefore, we are no longer under the bondage of sin. We rule over it.
