Spiritual Identity

It is easy to forget who we are in Christ.  The enemy seeks to identify us with terms that denote and in some cases describe our faults, failures, inabilities, and even our inadequacies.  He often does this so that we can push us into forgetting that in Christ we are a "new creature" with a new and wonderful identity.  We can be identified as sons and daughters of God

Society labels you like a can on an assembly line. Stupid. Unproductive. Slow learner. Fast talker. Quitter. But the Grace of God begins to make a change in our lives and we move from being estranged from God into a deep fellowship with God.  We then began to realize that we have been given a new identity that is provided through the plan of salvation that God shared with us through Jesus Christ.

 

The Word of God declares that we are: “spiritually alive.” Heavenly positioned, “seated with him in the heavenly places.”   We are “One with Jesus Christ.”  The old hymn declares "there's a new name written down in glory and its mine all mine..."  The power of adoption moves us from defeat and despair into victory and deliverance.  We no longer walk in the gloom of satan's pronunciations over us but now we walk in the strength of the declaration of God in our lives.  We now belong to Him and we are participants in the Heavenly Kingdom that Christ has brought to this earth.

Take a moment today and recognize the fact that you are a child of God and that He has accepted and adopted you into His family.
