The standing of a believer before God is always in Christ; God beholds us in Him and no longer in the flesh, the sphere of sin and death. If one ever believes that He is standing because of some list of does and donts they believe that they are successfully walking in they are completely out of fellowship with God. Never can we ever think that anything places up in fellowship other than the total dependence upon Jesus. The practical state of a believer is often varying. But our failures and shortcomings can never affect our standing before God in Christ. This is an important truth. Many true believers are in a miserable bondage, in doubts and fears, lacking assurance and the joy of salvation, because they do not know the fixed and unalterable standing a believer has in Christ.
