I pray that you have a better understanding of who you are in Christ after my little series. Today I will add some new ones to the list, but I also want to show you ALL of the ones I’ve listed in one place, so we can all see just how Christ’s life, death, and resurrection have benefited us.
Warning: This is a long post. However, I encourage you to read it all. It has certainly helped me as I’ve written it. 🙂
- I am alive together with Christ – Eph. 2:4-5(NKJV), “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).”
- I am complete in Him – Col. 2:10, “So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.”
- I am part of a chosen generation… and
- I am called out of darkness into His marvelous light – 1 Peter 2:9, “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.“
- I am a spirit being alive to God through Christ – Rom. 6:11, “So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.”
- If I am a doer of the Word, I will be blessed in my actions – James 1:22, 25, “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. …But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.“
- I am a partaker of His divine nature – 2 Peter 1:3-4, “By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.”
- I am right with God in Christ Jesus – 2 Cor. 5:21,”For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.“
- I am the head and not the tail; I am on top and never at the bottom, if I listen and obey – Deut. 28:13, “If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom.
- I am forgiven of all my sins – Eph. 1:7, “He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.”
- I am healed by the stripes of Jesus – Is. 53:5, “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.” and 1 Peter 2:24, “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.“
There are quite a few more, but this has already gotten long. Most of these came from Joyce Meyer Ministries. Visit here for the complete list.

- I have put off the old man and put on the new man. Col. 3:9-10, “Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.”

You are, or can be, and have, or can have, all of these. They are God’s gift to you through Jesus. If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to do so. While people, Christians included, will fail you, God never will. Please visit here if you’ve never made that decision. It is ABSOLUTELY life changing.
Dear God, I pray for all who’ve read these words of yours. May your words never return void. I pray that we can all receive them and believe them. Help our unbelief.
Father, I also pray for the one who reads these words and has never accepted your Son as Lord. Bring healing to their hearts minds, and bodies. Give them wisdom to find a church that can lead them in your Truth. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
May God’s blessings rain down on you,
