Every believer experiences a radical transformation at the moment of salvation. The Apostle Paul, to whom Christ revealed the mystery of the Body of Christ, teaches us about the contrast between the old man in Adam and the new man in Christ. The dispensational truth is clear: in this present age of grace, our identity is no longer in Adam but in Christ Jesus.

Brethren, our identity has shifted:
From Adam to Christ
From death to life
From corruption to completion
This transformation is the very essence of Paulโs gospel in this dispensation of grace.
