Was reading this today and it really hit home!
We want to get this firm in your head and your heart! In everything you do, bring your identity to what you do. Every decision you make, every action you take, let it be guided by who you are. The Bible is full of things showing you who you are. Know who you are, be encouraged by who you are, find strength in who you are, find confidence in who you are. Check these out:
Meditate daily on Romans 8:16-17
Who are you? Saved! You have been secured by God for an eternal life with him and snatched from the torment of hell! Be confident of this fact. It is the hope. If you are God’s child, then you are saved. Live like it! John 3:16
Who are you? Forgiven! Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins. Just ask for forgiveness with a repentant heart and it is done. It’s easy! Then live your forgiveness out. Ephesians 1:7
Who are you? Made new! When you were forgiven you were made new on the inside. Given a new, fresh start. Now live it out! It takes your best, but God gave His best so we can be forgiven. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Who are you? Free from condemnation! In other words, since you have been forgiven of your sins and made new, you no longer need to feel guilty for your past sins. Don’t feel like a failure over what God has forgiven you for. Condemnation is of the devil. In Jesus you have been freed from it! Romans 8:1
Who are you? Blessed! If you use your faith to receive what the Bible has for you then you will be blessed. See the things the Word says are for God’s children. It can be yours! Galatians 3:9
Who are you? A conqueror! Over what? Whatever is contrary to God. Sin, the enemy’s schemes, temptation, etc. You have to believe it. Do not make excuses for sin in your life. Be changed by God’s power. Be charged up by God’s power. You will be a conqueror. Romans 8:3
Who are you? Someone who can do all things! What has God said in His Word and to your heart that you are to do? Whatever it is, you can do it because of the strength and help of Jesus! Ask Him for help. Lean on Him. What seems to be impossible will be possible to you. Philippians 4:13
Philippians 4:13 is one of my favorite scriptures! Have a wonderful day!
