Do you know who you are?

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

I am not talking about who you are in your family, at your office or around your neighborhood. I am not talking about who you are by looks, the muscle on your body, neither am I talking about you based on your body size – slim, tall, fat, short etc. 

What legalizes our stand with God in the position we have in Christ? That is why It is important to understand who you are and to live in light of such reality.

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

I mean who you are through your inheritance in Christ Jesus. Who you are by faith through Christ the glorified.

One of the most important truths about your identity in Christ is that you are a child of God. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you become a part of God’s family. This means you have a new identity and way of living. You are no longer defined by your past, your mistakes, or your circumstances. You are defined by who God says you are.

Most times we live so much of what WE ARE NOT and not enough of WHO WE ARE. I do have moments when lies are whispered into my ears reminding me of things I did, people I hurt, and words I have spoken to convey my true identity. Sometimes I believe and live it while other times I ignore them. Then I decided to approach this truth with an unfamiliar attitude. I took a journey of being more aware consciously of Who I belong to and who I am in Him.

You are a child of God, loved unconditionally, and with a purpose to fulfill. Living out your identity in Him is a journey, but it is full of hope, promise, and blessing.
