John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
No, you are not seated with Christ, that's not what Paul says. He says we(us) are made alive with Christ (that's a reference to being born again), and raised us up and sat us together in heavenly places in Christ, not with him. The us does not refer to you and Christ but to you and me and every believer who is currently alive!!! Paul is saying Christ is on his throne next to the Father and us born again believers are seated together in Christ but not with him. What is implied, is that we are together on the floor in front of him if you would like to paint the picture that way. Paul goes on to say WHY we are seated together in heavenly places in Ephesians 2:10, for good works. That’s a reference to the fruit of the Spirit not healing the sick or casting out demons. Both of which we have the authority to do, but that is not why we are seated together. We are seated together for good works. He did not seat us in heavenly places so we could try and grasp his throne and seat ourselves on it. Jesus is looking for those born-again beliers that live life the way he lived it. So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.” As He also says in another place: “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek”; who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” We don't get to sit with him on the throne until after he returns. That is what he says to the Laodicea church. “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne…” To overcome one must maintain the yoke of Jesus, which is to be gentle and lowly in heart and produce the fruit of the Spirit. That is what he is looking for, not a bunch of believers making a mad dash for his throne.
Doesn’t matter how many times you sinned, if that mattered we would be eternally damned. But Jesus imputed his righteousness to us so it’s not based off our works but the Work He did on the cross. We’ve been given grace, redeemed!
Amen!! We are seated in Heavenly places amen!!. If we believe Gods word, that is! 😊

I sin way too much how can I be in heavenly places?
