Christlikeness is the result of Christ in us. It’s all grace; it’s always been grace. “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”[21] And us in Christ. In fact, “in Christ” is a phrase used all through the New Testament, more than eighty times in Paul’s letters alone. Theologians call this doctrine “incorporation”—being incorporated, integrated into the inner life of God himself through Christ. Jesus has come to draw us into God’s inner life of Love loving.
