Where is the believer seated and what blessings does he have?
The believer is seated in the heavenlies in Christ. In this position in Christ, the believer has spiritual blessings in the heavenlies. This heavenly position comes to the fore, contrasting with earthly things that do not last, and it is the believer's position in Christ.
Les explains that the believer's appetite is no longer on worldly things but on spiritual things, because the Lord has given insight that these will last forever. The world may think believers are missing out, but they are not. The end result is that our heavenly position comes to the fore: we have spiritual blessings in the heavenlies and are seated in the heavenlies in Christ. This is our position in Christ. Les connects this to I Corinthians 12, where Paul addresses the one body and its members, showing that this truth is part of our Christian experience.
