Our Identity in Christ
Our Identity in Christ
Who are you? Or perhaps you’ve heard someone ask you incredulously, “Who do you think you are?!” So much of how we think and act can be attributed to how we think of ourselves.
Perhaps the best compressed section of scripture that describes who the Holy Spirit says we are, is found in Ephesians 1-3. Paul uses this first section of his letter to describe what we all have in common.
It gives us the proper balance between overvaluing and undervaluing ourselves. Read the following truths to embrace how God sees you….
I invite you to repeat these truths out loud on a regular basis.
