YOUR TRUE IDENTITY IS “IN CHRIST;”

You Are Whom God says you are “In Christ,” and failure to see your self as such is dishonoring to Him and distrustful of His Word and in a perverted though not verbally declaring, you are believing you are ultimately wiser than Him…it is a failure to believe God!

GOD SAYS in Romans 1:7 that you are…

“Beloved of God”– God loves you!

“Called”– by God to salvation.

“Saints”– is not some state you rise to but it means “Holy”- Set apart by God for Himself. S-A-I-N-T’S = SET APART IN THE SAVIOR!

One reason He gives these truths is that believers may be “STRENGTHENED” in their faith, “For I long to see you that I may impart some spiritual gift to STRENGTHEN you.”  – {Rom 1:11}, The word refers to “STABILITY.” Spiritual stability is developed by hearing His Word and receiving, believing, and applying. Spiritual instability is to hear His Word and choose to…reject it!

SPIRITUAL STABILITY;

These three titles are true of you because God says it is so! It is not dependent on you but Him who declares it. Yours to receive by faith, rejoice in Him who has said and made you so, and honor Him by seeing yourself and saying about yourself that which is true of you because of Him who is Truth says it is so! “STRENGTHENED,” Spiritual Stability, seeing, saying, and applying what God says is true about you “In Christ!”

TRUE IDENTITY;

Who are you? “In Christ,” you are Beloved of God- Called– and a Saint! And all These “By God’s doing,” His amazing, outlandish grace, kindness, favor bestowed upon you because it Pleased HIM to do so, “…in accordance with His pleasure and will— to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves.”- {Ephesians 1:6}

YOUR IDENTITY;

Is not based on your performance, or how you “feel” or if you have had a “quiet time,” nor if you have failed, or sinned but who He says you are. Your spiritual POSITION is solid, and your true identity is wrapped up in the finished work of Christ and whom God declares you to be. It is subtle, but to run our- selves down and to call ourselves other than what God calls us is perverted faith and at times pride. We can derive sinful “pleasure” from reveling in how bad we are… and a false humility… and living a lie… a false identity when your true identity is who He says you are, “In Christ!”

Our STANDING never changes but our UNDERSTANDING needs to change in accordance with His Proclamation of us by His doing!

SPEAK TRUTH TO YOURSELF AND DECLARE…

I Am LOVED By God

I Am CALLED by God

I Am A SAINT of God

I AM – BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD -{ V7}.

IN YOUR PRAYING INCORPORATE THE THREE TITLES AND CHOOSE …”I PRAISE AND THANK YOU GOD!”

YEP, MAY BE HARD FOR YOU TO SAY BUT HE SAYS IT AND IT IS TRUE OF YOU… PRAISE AND THANK HIM, FOR WHO HE HAS SAID YOU ARE … AND LIVE OUT YOUR ROYALTY “IN CHRIST”- {READ 1 Peter 2:9-10}

NEW IDENTITY;

Your New and True Identity- you are who and only who He says you are… renewing your thinking to align with His Word is what the Holy Spirit uses to bring about spiritual stability and keeps you from being tossed to and fro and living a life of instability.

Let us pray for one another…

Great news.

You ARE whom and what God declares about you-

God’s – Beloved – Called – Saint.

God bless.
