Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 2:
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Jesus Christ became one with us in sin that we may become one with Him in righteousness. He had no need to go to the cross for Himself but in an act of unconditional Love, He suffered and died for us. Yet this isn’t the end, He arose from the dead for us as well. He became one with us in death that we may become one with Him in life. In order for us to fully mature as Sons and Daughters of GOD, we must embrace the latter aspect of this Truth as much as the former. We are truly one with Him and as a result we are one with each other. We are His Body.
Paul also wrote in Ephesians chapter 2:
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
We have been given the expressed right to sit together with Christ Jesus in heavenly places so let us embrace this Truth and take our position without hesitation. No, we did not earn the right but it was freely given to us out of HIS Love for us for we were formed in the womb for this purpose. The adversary wants to keep us from taking our rightful inheritance in the heavenlies.
Jesus died to make us live. He became sin to make us righteous. He became weak to make us strong. He suffered shame to give us glory. He went to hell in order to take us to Heaven. He was condemned in order to justify us. He was made sick so that healing would be ours. He was cast out of the presence of Our Heavenly Father that we would be able to come into HIS presence.
In Jude:
24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.
We are truly one with Christ and we must not let any thought convince us otherwise.
