How has God placed us in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection?

Les teaches that being baptized into Christ is not baptism into a denomination or a church, but into Jesus Christ. If you have been placed in Christ, then before you could get there you had to be identified with His death. When Christ died, God saw every one of us on the cross in the person of Christ; He died in our place, and God saw you and me crucified. That is what Galatians 2 means: "I have been crucified with Christ." Just as surely as God saw us on the cross in Christ, He saw us in the tomb, buried with Him—not by water, but by God determining that since He paid the sin debt for all, and for those who believe and appropriate it, He says, "You're dead, you're crucified, I saw you in Christ, I saw you buried with Him in His death, in His tomb." Les also explains that we have been resurrected with Him to a new life and are totally different people as a result of the power of His resurrection. It is a God thing: God, in His omnipotence, power, omniscience, and ability to work in the invisible realm, has placed us in all of these places. In the area of the invisible, He has seen every one of us crucified with Christ.
