Who I am in Christ

I am Accepted…

I am God’s dear child.

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

John 1:12

I am Christ’s friend.

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:15

I have been justified (“just-as-if-i’d” never sinned).

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.

Romans 5:1-2a

I am united with the Lord and am one in spirit with Him.

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:17

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I am a member of Christ’s body.

I am Secure…

I am assured all works together for good.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

I am free from any charge against me.

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Romans 8:31-34

I cannot ever be separated from the love of God.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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.

Romans 8:35-39

I am established, anointed, and sealed by God.

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

I am hidden with Christ Jesus in God.

Philippians 3:20-21

I have not been given a spirit of fear, but rather of power, love and a sound mind.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

I can find grace and mercy in time of need.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

I am Significant…

I am the salt and light of the earth.

1 Corinthians 3:16

I am a minister of reconciliation for God, His ambassador.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
