“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
“…since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.“ – Colossians 3: 9-10
“In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.” – Ephesians 1: 11-12
Paul clearly states: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God…” (2 Corinthians 5:17-18) Isn’t this wonderful!
Suddenly, everything changes. The Lord is now at the centre of everything in your life, your thoughts and emotions. But above all, He doesn’t just leave you alone like that. He equips you with the Holy Spirit who will guide, empower, and help you live the purpose God created you for. Now you live because of Him, through Him and for Him!
When someone asks you: “Who are you?” you can boldly answer: I’m a child of the King above all kings, our King, Jesus!
Do You Know Your Identity in Christ?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you that I am Your child. Amen.
Challenge: Live each day so that others may see you are the King’s child, and they might want to accept Him as their Saviour too.
