Who Am I?

Have you read the book entitled, "Gospel Transformation- What the Good News Does in Your Life?”  One of the latter chapters in the book deals with the idea of "Knowing the In-Christ truths."  Knowing where and who you are as an individual believer in Christ. One of the exercises that the reader is asked to participate in at the end of this chapter is to write out a statement of belief based on the biblical teachings of who and what we are in Christ.   We want to encourage you to take some time to develop a quick summation of who you are in Jesus Christ. We offer this example, "Because of the promise of life in Jesus Christ, I no longer have to strive to live without sin, attempt to be pleasing to Him. I now live in the present reality which declares, everything that God requires for me to be united with him, I possess it through the active presence of the Divine indwelling."  To aide you in this exercise, below is a list of biblical principles that declare who we really are IN CHRIST. “Who I now am "in Christ. "I believe it because God's word declares it.

l am now under no condemnation.

I now have received all of God's grace.

I now have been brought near to God by the blood of Christ.

The enemy of souls has blinded the minds of some to the point that we don't see ourselves as God truly declares us to be.

Shalom, and may the peace that He alone promises you becomes a present reality in your personal life. John 8:24
