God speaks a vision of hope to each person all the time. Some listen. Others do not listen. When He speaks this vision, God's faith comes. This vision of hope shows you who you are in Christ the Body and how you fit into Christ the Body. This vision also shows you what is and what is not part of the Body of Christ.
(some caveats about hearing God's Voice)
Do you know what it means to be in Christ? If you are a Christ-follower, you know what it is to have Christ in you, but what about you in Christ. It has to do with this quote from 1 Corinthians 12: "As the [human] body is one and has many members, so also is Christ." Note that it does not say "so also is the body of Christ," though that would have the same meaning. If you are in the body of Christ, then you are in Christ. The more you are fully fitted into the body of Christ and the more that the body of Christ into which you are fitted is set in the pattern of Scripture, the more you are in Christ.
