Your Identity In Christ
You Are Valuable
John 1:12 -
You are God's child.
But You received Him, and to You
He gave the right to become God's child,
because You believe in His name.
John 15:5 -
You are a part of the true vine,
and a channel of Christ's life.
I am the vine. You are a branch.
If You remain in Me, and I in you,
you will bear much fruit,
for apart from Me,
You can do nothing.
John 15:15 -
You are a friend of Christ.
No longer do I call You a servant,
for a servant doesn't know what his lord does.
But I have called You a friend,
for everything that I heard from My Father,
I have made known to You.
Rom. 8:17 -
You are a joint heir with Christ,
You share Christ's inheritance with Him.
And if a child, then an heir;
an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ;
if indeed You suffer with Him,
that You may also be glorified with Him.
I Cor. 3:9 -
You are God's co-worker.
For You are one of God's fellow workers.
You are God's field, God's building.
I Cor. 3:16 -
You are God's temple.
Don't you know that You are a temple of God,
and that God's Spirit lives in you?
Eph. 1:5-6 -
You have been adopted by God as His child.
Having predestined You for adoption
as a child through Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the good pleasure of His desire,
to the praise of the glory of His grace,
by which He freely bestowed
favor on You in the Beloved.
Eph. 1:11-
You have an inheritance in Christ.
In Him also You were assigned an inheritance,
having been predestined according
to the purpose of Him who works all things
after the counsel of His will.
Eph. 2:5-6 -
You have been made alive with Christ
and you are seated with Christ in the heavenly places.
Even when You were dead in your trespasses,
God made you alive together with Christ
(by grace You has been saved),
and raised You up with Him,
and made You to sit with Him,
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Eph. 2:10 -
You are God's workmanship, His handiwork.
For You are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared before
that You should walk in them.
Col. 1:27 -
Christ Himself is in You.
To whom God was pleased to make known
what are the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles, which is
Christ in You, the hope of glory.

Your life is hidden with Christ in God.
For You died, and your life is
hidden with Christ in God.

You Are Loved.
John 3:15-16 -
You have eternal life in Christ.
You, believing in Him, shall not perish,
but have eternal life. For God so loved You ,
that He gave His one and only Son,
that You, believing in Him, should not perish,
but have eternal life.
John 3:18 -
You are not judged by God,
because you are in Christ.
If You believe in Him, you are not judged.
But if You doesn't believe,
you have been judged already,
because you have not believed
in the name of the only born Son of God.
John 15:9 -
You remain in Christ's love.
Even as the Father has loved Me,
I also have loved You.
You must remain in My love.
If You keeps My commandments,
you will remain in My love;
even as I have kept My Father's commandments,
and remain in His love.
Rom. 8:14-15 -
You are a child of God.
For if You are led by the Spirit of God,
you are a child of God.
For You didn't receive the spirit of bondage
again to fear, but You received the Spirit of adoption,
by whom you cry, "Abba! Father!"
Rom. 8:35-37,39 -
You cannot be separated from the love of God.
Who shall separate You from the love of Christ?
Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Even as it is written, "For your sake
we are killed all day long. We were accounted
as sheep for the slaughter."
For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other created thing, will be
able to separate You from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus, Your Lord.
Eph. 3:12 -
You may approach God with
boldness and confidence.
In whom You have boldness
and confident access
through your faith in Him.

domain of Satan's rule and transferred
to the kingdom of Christ.
The Father delivered You
out of the power of darkness,
and translated you into the
kingdom of the Son of His love.
Heb. 4:16 -
You may come boldly before
the throne of grace through
Jesus Christ to receive mercy.
Let You therefore draw near
with boldness to the throne of grace,
that you may receive mercy,
and may find grace in time of need.

Rom. 6:1-4 -
You died with Christ and you died
to the power of sin's rule over your life.
What shall we say then?
Shall You continue in sin,
that grace may abound?
May it never be! If You died to sin,
how could you live in it any longer?
Or don't you know that when
You were baptized into Christ Jesus,
you were baptized into His death?
You were buried with Him
through baptism to death,
that just as Christ was raised
from the dead through the
glory of the Father, so You also
might walk in newness of life.
Rom. 8:37 -
You are more than a conqueror in Christ.
No, in all these things, You are more than
a conqueror through Him who loved you.

leads You in triumph in Christ,
and reveals through You
the sweet aroma of His knowledge in every place.

being made in the likeness of men.

He may give it to you.
