In this message, the Bible shows that there is a difference between the Standing and the State of the Believer.

Before diving into that, however, we talk about the difference of the image of God and the image of Adam. When God created Adam, he was created in God's image but after man's fall, everyone was born in Adam's image. No matter what kind of religious works or works of righteousness we do, it does not count since it is done in Adam. We need to be put IN-CHRIST who is the express image of God. This happens only upon Salvation.
