By God's grace I am as close to God as His Son the Lord Jesus
Christ is. He is my head and I am part of His body. Where the Head
is, there is His body. I am "IN CHRIST" and you could not get any
closer to God than "IN Christ".
Though I may not always FEEL my "IN Christ"
position, that does not change the fact that I am IN Him and He is
in me.
Col 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ
in God
Christ in you, the hope of glory.
I got to be there by God putting me there when I placed my faith in
Christ alone for salvation. I got there when i changed my attitude
towards God, sin, self and Christ.
I did not reverence and fear God before, then i changed my attitude
towards HIm, He is to be honored as the Moral Governor of the
universe. Before I only turned away from sin for fear of hell
nothing more nothing less, i want to escape hell so i "turned" away
from sin that's all. But i changed my attitude towards sin, Sin is
to be shunned and hated because it is a sin against God nothing
more nothing less.
Even without hell i will turn away from sin, even without heaven i
will turn away from sin because sin in my life will dishonor the
Moral Governor of the Universe. I turned away from sin not so that
I will be saved, not so that i will go to heaven. NO. Not
that.
I realized and changed my attitude that I could not saved myself no
matter how hard I tried. So I looked and found the One who could do
that for me----Christ the Savior. I relied on Him alone for
salvation.
That's how i got to be there.
When that happened there was no rush of the mighty east wind of
God, i did not feel a strange feeling in my body, i did not hear a
voice booming from heaven telling me so.
NOne of that. I knew that that was what happened through His Word
the Bible.
