Your Identity In Christ

As Christians, our identity in Christ is very important to fulfilling the destiny God has called us to; as well as been able to be a blessing to others. Knowing who you are in Christ will enable you to speak life into others, it will help you to accept and value others, and to live a successful Christian life. The more you agree with God about your identity in Christ, the more your behaviour will reflect your God given identity, gifts and talents. Learn to see yourself as God sees you.
Accept what God says about you and become the spiritual person you are created to be. God's opinion is the one that counts. Understanding who you are in Christ will give you a strong foundation to build your life on. Knowing who you are in Jesus is the key to a successful Christian life. Your identity doesn't depend on something you do or have done. Your true identity is who you are in Christ. When you are in Christ you are a new creation, the old has passed away. Dear woman of God, it's time to stop living out of who people say you are and take hold of the truth of God's word. You need to know who you are in Christ so that you can know what to do, when to do it, how to do it, where to go, and when to do go.

See a few of what the word of God says about you.

Romans.3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Romans. 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Romans. 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Ephesians 1:3 
May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!
Ephesians 1:4 
Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.
Ephesians 1:10
[He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth.
Ephesians 1:12 
So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory!
Ephesians 2:6
 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Ephesians 2:7 
He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:10 
For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Ephesians 2:13 
But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near.
Ephesians 3:6 
[It is this:] that the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body and joint partakers [sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through [their acceptance of] the glad tidings (the Gospel).

Be blessed!
