To Know who you are “in Christ” is imperative if you are to stand against the onslaught of the evil one and in order to go forward in love amidst demonic opposition with the Gospel of grace. The enemy of your soul as he did with Eve in the garden will point out what you “don’t have” but he or the worlds system will never tell you not “what” or Whom you do have and who you are, for that would glorify God and encourage you when you look at things from God’s perspective. Indeed the “world’s systems” focus on “SELF” esteem” which is void and hollow, for “self” never sustains satisfaction, apart from fleeting pleasures, and is never the focus of meeting the need of the person, while Scripture focus’s on CHRIST esteem, who you are in Him and this by God’s doing, to God’s glory.{Read 1 Cor 1:30}. You are SPIRITUALLY WEALTHY…Too often we tend to fall back into old ways of thinking rather than seeing who we are “In Christ,”… “New creatures in Christ!” A New standing with God, a new family we are adopted into. A new Master, new power, new promises, new position with and before God. You are not who you were because of Whose you are! SPEAK THESE truths to yourself, and PRAISE HIM after each one…
