Your Identity; What Christ Says About Who You Are


In case you missed Monday’s meeting, we discussed the topic “Identity in Christ”. Having an identity in Christ plays a large role in the life of the believer, but it can also bring hope to the unbeliever. While we live in a day and age that struggles with trying to find your identity, it’s amazing to know that there’s a God who is wiling to give us one by His undeserving grace that will last a lifetime!

Let’s take a look at your identity in Christ, or if you’re thinking about having a relationship with God, what it could be:

 I am chosen by God.
   Ephesians 1:4

    I am adopted by God.
   Ephesians 1:5

 I am a child of God in His family.
1 John 3:1

I am forgiven by God for all my sins.
1 John 1:9

I am reconciled to God, in harmony with Him.
Romans 5:10

I am seen by God as holy, blameless, above reproach.
Colossians 1:21-22

I am sealed with God’s Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1:13

I am called to accomplish God’s purpose.
Romans 8:28, 30

I am a full citizen among God’s people.
Ephesians 2:19

I am justified- declared right in God’s sight.
Romans 5:1

I am sanctified- set apart by God’s spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:11

I am redeemed- bought with Christ’s blood.

Ephesians 1:7

I am cleansed by Christ’s blood for all my sin.
1 John 1:7

I am an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ.
Romans 8:16, 17

     I am complete in Christ.
    Colossians 2:10

       I am an ambassador for Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:20

I am being conformed to the character of Christ.
Romans 8:29

Isn’t your identity amazing?! Be encouraged that you can live in this world without the pressures of trying to be someone you’re not! When you belong to Jesus Christ your identity is made known throughout all of heaven and the earth because of HIM! Why would you want the world to form your identity when this world will pass away as well as the people in it? Be encouraged sisters and we really hope to see you at our next meeting!
