Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”ġ5. 1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.”ġ4. 2 Corinthians 5:20 “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. Romans 8:17 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”ġ3. You know when I sit and when I rise you perceive my thoughts from afar.”ġ2. You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit apart from me you can do nothing.”ġ1. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. No branch can bear fruit by itself it must remain in the vine.
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
John 15:1-5 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Isaiah 43:4 “Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.”ġ0. Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”ĩ. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”Ĩ. Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. You are someone who is deeply loved by God.ħ. Ephesians 2:4-5 “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved.” From the house of the LORD we bless you.”Ħ. Psalm 118:26 “ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. Ephesians 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”ĥ. John 15:11 “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”Ĥ. Galatians 4:7 “So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.”ģ. Galatians 3:26 “For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”Ģ. For my God is with me and goes before me. “I am a daughter of the King, who is not moved by the world. “Our try identity is found when we stop being “who we are” and start being who we were created to be.” “The more you reaffirm who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your true identity.” “Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. “My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it.” “Outside of Christ, I am weak Inside of Christ I am strong.” Watchman nee You are defined by who Christ says that you are. You are not defined by who the world says that you are. When we are engulfed in shame, God reminds us that Christ took upon our shame on the cross. When we feel unloved, we are reminded that God loves us deeply and unconditionally. When those voices tell you that you are misunderstood by everyone, God reminds you that He understands you. He is constantly reminding me to not dwell on my failures, receive His grace, and press on. God is constantly pouring out His grace and reminding us of we are. Satan is constantly fighting believers to cause us to lose sight of our true identity. I need to remind myself daily that my identity does not lie in my mistakes, my struggles, my embarrassing moments, those discouraging negative voices in my head, etc.
In the midst of many voices in our head that wage war against our identity we forget who we are in Christ.
