Dr. Kane has taken one sentence of Lightened With His Glory (p. 17) in a way that disregards an abundant context that says the opposite of his representations (see appendix). Of course, no one is experientially "in Christ" unless he is converted. What is repeatedly stated in this book is that the second Adam has reversed all that the first Adam did. By natural birth everyone is corporately "in Adam." But Christ has become the "last Adam," the new Head of the human race. His sacrifice has effected this new standing legally. If every loaf of bread is stamped with the cross of Christ, if no one, "saint or sinner" can eat his daily food but he is nourished by the body and blood of Christ (DA 660), it follows that as a member of that human race he stands now in a new way to God legally because of the sacrifice of Christ. In this sense the whole human race is redeemed "in Christ." The Good News of the Gospel does not tell him only what Christ will do for him if he first takes the initiative, but it tells him what Christ has already done for him. Thus his believing becomes a heart appreciation of what is already a fact. He was reconciled to God at the cross. Now he believes it, and thus he receives the atonement (Rom. 5:11).
