What Does Paul Mean by "In Christ" in the Letter to the Ephesians?
Neither Jesus or Paul founded a new religion. The shed blood of Jesus provides justification for those who believe into Him by faith. The monumental new reality of what Jesus accomplished on the Roman gibit (cross) for believers is carefully elicudated by Paul in the Letter to the Ephesians. Please note that one must be filled with the Spirit of God to discern the unparalled truths contained in this supernatural document!

Our Old Man (Gk. Palaios Anthropos) Is Crucified with Christ!
The salvation theology that Paul explicates in the Romans document is a comprehensive treatment of what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross (Roman Gibet) in 33 A.D. There is no other Name given under heaven whereby we must (Gk. Dei) be saved (Acts 4: 12)!"

Those Who Habitually Follow Jesus Walk in Newness of Life (Gk. Zoe)
The Life in Jesus is the divine nature of Theos of which constantly beliving one are partakers. The old sinful life is expunged by Grace. Nowhere in the New Testament are believers said to have both the old sin "nature" and the new life in Jesus coexisting together! However, believers may walk according to the flesh (Gk. sarx). But the term "old sin nature" is never used in a coextensive manner with our new life in Christ. The old sin nature is the old anthropology when we were dead in trespasses and sins! The new ontology in Jesus has is not infringed upon by the darkness of the past or this present evil darkness.

Jesus Died, was Buried, and Stood Up out of the Grave for Our Salvation!
The Biblical materials are very precise and specific about the ministry of Jesus on behalf all mankind. The sufferings of Jesus were unimaginable and horrific! In His impeccable and sinless humanity He experienced the Wrath of God on our behalf. His death was substitutionary (Ps. 22). He stood up out of the grave on the third day, and He stands forevermore! He took to Himself the keys of Hades and Death!

All Power in Heaven and Earth Belongs to Jesus Including Power Over the Devil!
The devil (one who divides) sought to get Jesus to set aside the will of the Father and receive power, glory, and honor outside of the will of God.
