Who Am I?

Perhaps one of the biggest questions of all time asked by human beings is "Who am I?"  Insecurities fill our mind such as why am I here and do I really have a purpose? We can fill the question with all sorts of silly answers that sound good to us or we can stress over not having an answer to them at all OR we can choose to know that the question has already been answered for us... not by some self-help book or even by the beloved Oprah, but instead by the Creator of the Universe. God says plenty in His Word about who you are, specifically who you are because of His Son Jesus Christ. And since God created you,  I think He definitely has the authority to answer the question. Here is a handy, compiled list of who God says you are and what you have in Jesus, just in case you wake up some mornings questioning it all.

IN CHRIST I AM...

• complete
• free
• holy
• chosen
• without blame
• forgiven of ALL my sins
• delivered
• redeemed
• born again
• healed
• greatly loved
• strengthened
• more than a conqueror 
• an overcomer
• an ambassador
• not my own
• God's workmanship
• a joint-heir with Christ
• a temple of the Holy Spirit
• a doer of the Word of God
• the voice of His praise

I HAVE...

• the mind of Christ
• the peace of God
• God living in me
• received the power of the Holy Spirit
• put off the old me and put on the new me
• no lack
• a shield of faith
• a spirit of power and love
• a sound mind

All of these assuring answers about who God says you are are clearly stated in His Word.. pick a few to remind yourself of everyday. Maybe even put a note on your mirror with the ones that resonate with you or you need to remember the most. If you want to know where in the Bible to find any of these, ask me and I'll gladly get the actual verse for you. Someone once told me that what we say is least important, what we do is of great importance, but who we are is of the utmost importance. Remember who you are.
