Who I Am in Christ .
In Christ, I am :-
¹• I am Loved (But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8 )
²• I am Strong ( Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ~ Ephesians 6 :10 )
³• I am Accepted ( For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! ~ Romans 5:17 )
⁴• I am Delivered ( I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.~Psalm34:4 )
⁵• I am Approved ( On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. ~ 1 Thessalonians 2:4 )
⁶• I am Chosen ( according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by the sanctifying work of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace [that special sense of spiritual well-being] be yours in increasing abundance [as you walk closely with God] ~ 1 Peter 1:2 )
⁷• I am Redeemed ( But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. ~ Isaiah 43:1 ) (But now, this is what the LORD, your Creator says, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are Mine!)
⁸• I am Holy ( If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. ~1John 1:9 ~ If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose])
⁹• I am Saved (If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.~ Romans 10: 9-10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. )(⁹because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.¹⁰For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.)
¹⁰• I am Holy (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. ~ 1 Peter 2:9 ~ But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A CONSECRATED NATION, A [special] PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.)
¹¹• I am Made New ( 1 Corinthians 5:17 ) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
¹²• I am Equipped ( 2 Timothy 3:17 ) so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
¹³• I am Secure ( John 10:28-29 ) ²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. ~ Jesus Christ said
¹⁴• I am Set Free ( John 8:36 ) So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
¹⁵• I am Forgiven ( 1 John 1:9 ) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
¹⁶• I am Victorious (1 Corinthians 15:57 ) But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
¹⁷• I am Renewed ( Colossians 3:10 ) and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
