Keyword: Identity

Welcome to the third entry in the series on our identity in Christ. I hope that you have been truly blessed by the first two entries. Remember, these truths can radically change your life if you can begin to see yourself as God sees you in His Son.

21. You are a FRIEND OF GOD - John 15:15 - "No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you."

22. You are GIVEN GLORY - John 17:22 - "The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one."

23. You HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER - Ephesians 2:18 - "For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father."

24. You are HEALED - 1 Peter 2:24 - He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin nd live to righteousness: Byhis wounds you have been healed."

25. You are HOLY AND BLAMELESS - Colosians 1:22 - He has now reconciled youin his body of flesh by his death in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him."

26. You are an HEIR WITH CHRIST - Romans 8:17 - "and if children, then heirs - heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him."

27. You are HIDDEN WITH CHRIST - Colossians 3:3 - "For you have died, and your life is hidden wth Christ in God"

28: You are HOME TO THE GODHEAD - John 14:23 - "Jesus answered hm, 'If anyone will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and makeour home with him.'"

29. You are JUSTIFIED - Romans 5:1 - "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

30. You are KINGS - Revelation 1:6 - "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father..."(KJV)

We are now halfway through our series on who the Bible says we are because we are in Christ. Meditate on these things until they define your view of yourself, not what the world says.

I pray the Lord blesses you as you come to see everything that Christ has bought us when he died for us. Blessings
