When Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan, he came out and the heavens were opened to him and Elohim told him "this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased". When we accept Jesus into our hearts, we become covered with the Holy Spirit of Jesus, at that point Elohim no longer sees you, your past shame, your sins, your guilt, He sees Jesus. That is why we must stop focusing on our failures, we are humans that are not perfect and we make mistakes when we remain in the flesh, but when we are in Jesus, He begins to fill us with His holiness, a holiness that cannot be earned, but is a gift, out of Elohim's perfect and unconditional love for us. So allow Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit, it is not something that you can have out of your own merit, but through Grace, that is, unmerited favour from Heaven.
So how do you become more in Christ? the answer is simple, it starts with a true hearts desire to want Him, and all you have to do is spend time with Jesus, in his word, in His presence, worshipping him, talking to him. Thats all God wants from you, to give him your love, and to be with him as His child. Elohim is the most loving Father that you will ever know, when you become totally intimate with him, you will lose your fleshly ways, your sin nature, and start to act like Christ, think like Christ, and be like Christ. Many people believe that the only way to be like Christ, is if you become legalistic and follow the law to a T, but we can't follow the law perfectly. Only Jesus is perfect and that is what he died on the cross for, he was the perfect lamb sacrifice for the entire world, so that anyone who wants to, can have everlasting life, and as a freely given gift, one that can't be taken back because someone sinned or made a mistake, it is always there and always free. So no matter what your circumstances, your hurt and pain, Jesus is there to comfort you, he has already forgiven all of your sins on the cross, and He is standing before you with open arms, inviting you to be with him. So when Elohim tells Jesus "this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased", remember that because Jesus is in you, Elohim is telling you "this is my beloved daughter (or son) in whom I am well pleased" say that to yourself in your times of pain and trouble, and remember that God sees Jesus when he looks at you.
