Paul's use of 'In Christ' and 'In Him' is rather unique to Scripture; perhaps a reality in the OT and the Gospels, but it wasn't until Paul's writings that these truths were revealed clearly to mankind.

Many want to ignore Paul and instead abide in the synoptic Gospels or even the OT., usually to their confusion. Anyways here is just a sampling of verses by Paul containing 'In Christ' and one can further look up and ponder Scriptures containing the phrase 'In Him'.
