Who am I in Christ?
How many of us walk in the past? What do I mean by that? I mean how many of us still hold on to things that happened in the past? I struggled with this alot and really just got alot of freedom in this area. How did I do it? I simply found out what it means to be in Christ. See God already did all the work with us. He forgave us, reconciled us, and redeemed us. We just need to take a step and strip off the clothes of the past and put on the clothes of Jesus! ESV Gal. 3:26-27
List below is all about who we are in Christ. Hope this will bring some freedom!
I am a/the…………….
- salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13)

We are a pretty big deal to God. He call us friend and sons. ESV Gal. 4:1-10 speaks of sonship. I believe the Lord really wants us to get how much we mean to Him. We listen to the world and the enemy too much. I’m tired of walking down that road—aren’t you???

The Bible adamantly declares our right standing with Christ if we are to trust in Him. So why do we act like as though we need to do things in order to get God to like us or even love us?
We don’t do things in hopes that we please God because He is not a god that is served by human hands (Acts 17:24-25). Rather, we do anything we can in order to get us more of God.
