My Identity in Christ

I don't think there is anything in Christianity more important than understanding, if you are a believer, who you are in Christ. I found this online today. The blurbs are helpful, but it's the Scripture itself that has the power. I've included links to the Scripture so you can easily read the truth of who you are from the Word itself.

My True Identity in Christ

You are justified and redeemed (already)–Romans 3:24


Your old self was killed (crucified)–Romans 6:6

You are not condemned. (My performance is condemned when I don’t trust in His life through me, but God does not condemn the performer, just the performance.)–Romans 8:1

You are free from the law of sin and death–Romans 8:2

You are accepted. (All my life I’ve sought to be accepted. Now I am!)–Romans 15:7

You are sanctified (holy, set apart)–I Corinthians 1:2

You have wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, redemption. (I am ransomed–restored to favor)–I Corinthians 1:2

Your hardened mind has been removed–II Corinthians 3:14

You are a new creature. (Even though I don’t always feel or act like it.)–II Corinthians 5:17
