Who Am I?

Every once in awhile it’s good to take a moment and reflect on how God views His children. This helps us go through our days and our circumstances, whether good or bad, with the proper perspective on life and of our God. When our perspective of God is correct our perspective of life is made clearer. Here’s a reminder of who we are in Christ. Let’s be encouraged and thankful.

I am accepted…

John 1:12 I am God’s child.
Romans 5:1 I have been justified.
1 Corinthians 6:17 I am united with the Lord, and I am one with Him in spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 I have been bought with a price and I belong to God.
1 Corinthians 12:27 I am a member of Christ’s body
Ephesians 1:3-8 I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child.
Colossians 1:13-14 I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins.
Hebrews 4:14-16 I have direct access to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ.

I am secure…

Romans 8:1-2 I am free from condemnation.
Romans 8:28 I am assured that god works for my good in all circumstances.
Romans 8:31-39 I am free from any condemnation brought against me and I cannot be separated from the love of God.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 I have been established anointed and sealed by God.
Colossians 3:1-4 I am hidden with Christ in God.
Philippians 1:6 I am confident that God will complete the good work He stated in me.
Philippians 3:20 I am a citizen of heaven.
2 Timothy 1:7 I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.
1 John 5:18 I am born of God and the evil one cannot touch me without God’s permission.

I am significant…

John 15:5 I am a branch of Jesus Christ the true vine and a channel of His life.
John 15:16 I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit.
I Corinthians 3:16 I am God’s temple.
Ephesians 2:6 I am seated with Jesus Christ in the heavenly realm.
Ephesians 2:10 I am God’s workmanship.
Ephesians 3:12 I may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

Look deep into that mirror today and let’s give Him praise!
