Who you are... in Christ
These days we are getting bombarded with messages contrary to God's view of us and who he says we are. It is so very important as Christians that we have a sound understanding of what our Heavenly Father thinks about us. Why you ask? Because the enemy is seeking to steal, kill and destroy all of us and we will come under attack in this world, more and more each day as we slip farther away from the principles outlined in the Bible.
Our sense of self was formed with input from various sources; family, teachers, friends, co-workers, bosses, husband/wife, TV, books/magazines, advertisements, games, music, etc. The list is quite long and sadly many of the messages were not in-line with what God's word says about you. As a result of these wrong messages, you may be walking around so confused and insecure that the slightest comment can be taken to heart and crush your spirits...just what the enemy wants.
So, what can we do about it? Plenty! God has peppered the entire Bible with awesome messages about you and your identity as He sees you. The following is just a small sampling of what you will find in the word, memorize them, write them down and take them into your heart. Each and every day ask God to search you for anything that is not true and ask Him to remove it from our thoughts and replace it with His truth.
WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT YOU:
Precious---Isaiah 43:4 ... you are precious in my eyes
God's Workmanship---Ephesians 2:10 ... we are his workmanship,
Forgiveness---Ephesians 1:7 ... the forgiveness of our trespasses
New Creation---2 Corinthians 5:17 ... if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation
Loved---Galations 2:20...who loved me and gave himself for me
Blameless---Colossians 1:22 ...to present you holy and blameless
Free---Romans 8:2...set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death
