Identity in Christ

Who we are in Christ, because of Christ, is something that we need to be reminded of and have spoken over us often.

Identity in Christ

This week's devotions are written by my son, Bryant Forshee, Lead Student Pastor for Cross Church, Springdale, AR campus.

- Pastor Danny

"I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

(Galatians 2:20, CSB)

Who we are in Christ, because of Christ, is something that we need to be reminded of and have spoken over us often. When we remember and reflect on who we are in Christ, we grow in a stronger devotion and love for Jesus and a stronger devotion and love for the things of God over the things of this world.

So today, I want to let scripture remind you of who you are in Christ:

A child of God (Romans 8:16)
Redeemed from the hand of the enemy (Psalms 107:2)
Forgiven (Colossians 1:13-14)
Saved by Grace through Faith (Ephesians 2:8)
Justified (Romans 5:1)
Sanctified (1 Corinthians 6:11)
A New Creature (2 Corinthians 5:17)
A Partaker of His Divine Nature (2 Peter 1:4)
Redeemed from the Curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13)

Getting all your needs met by Jesus (Philippians 4:19)
Casting your cares on Jesus (1 Peter 5:7)

Blessed coming in and going out (Deuteronomy 28:6)
An inheritor of eternal life (1 John 5:11-12)
Blessed with all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3)
Healed by His stripes (1 Peter 2:24)
Exercising your authority over the enemy (Luke 10:19)
Above only and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13)
More than a conqueror (Romans 8:37)

An overcomer by the Blood of the Lamb and Word of your Testimony (Rev. 12:20)
Daily overcoming the devil (1 John 4:4)
Not moved by what you see (2 Corinthians 4:18)
Walking by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Casting down vain imaginations (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
Bringing every thought into captivity (2 Corinthians 10:5)
Being transformed by a renewed mind (Romans 12:1-2)
A laborer together with God (1 Corinthians 3:9)
The righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21)
An imitator of Jesus (Ephesians 5:1)
The light of the World (Matthew 5:14)
The salt of the Earth (Matthew 5:13)

When we remind ourselves of our identity, we become thankful for what Jesus has done for us, worshipful because of what Jesus has done for us, and evangelistic because of what Jesus has done for us. Save this list for future reference as a bold reminder of who you are in Christ!
