SUBJECT : WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT US THAT BELIEVE!

Memory verse: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name.” (John 1 vs 12.)

READ: First Peter 2 vs 9 - 10: 

2:9: But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

2:10: who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

INTIMATION:

Knowing Him causes you to know what He says about you. If you truly desire to know what the Lord says about your identity, dive into His Word! Take these for instance:

1. He calls us His children; “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name.” (John 1 vs 12.)

2. We are new creations; “Therefore, If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (Second Corinthians 5 vs 17.)

3. We are His righteousness; “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (Second Corinthians 5 vs 21.)

4. We are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven; “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3 vs 20.)

5. We are forgiven and set free; “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1 vs 7.)

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8 vs 2.)

6. We are royal priests and a chosen generation; “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2 vs 9.)

7. We are special to Him; “His own special people” whom He has given all that pertains to life and godliness.

8. He has made you king and priest to our God to reign on earth; “And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.” (Romans 5 vs 10.) 

9. We are God’s work of art; “For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2 vs 10.)

When we become alive in Christ through salvation, He infuses our spirits with the reality of His DNA and His Kingdom. This is the primary building block of our identity in Him. That infusion makes us complete in Him; “And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2 vs 10.)

Haven known the truth of what God says about you, your response is expected. Do a self-evaluation of your own life to identify existing gaps. Are there lies you have believed about yourself that contradict what the Lord has said about you? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you have negated your self-worth.

Be encouraged to seek Christ more! Allow Him to reveal His character and nature, and form your true identity that will lead to living out the destiny He has prepared for you.

Prayer: Abba Father, You made me what I am; marvelously and fearfully made. Forever Your praise will be in my mouth. O Lord, impart me with the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in me, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
