Who are you? Or New
Li fe, New Title
I am a sinner
saved by grace. I am certain many of us have heard that statement at
one time or another in church. The statement
is true, but as a Christian is that all you truly are, just a sinner? Is that
your true position within the kingdom of God? Does God view you as just a sinner
saved by His amazing grace? I think not (Eph1: 5) tell us
we are adopted into the kingdom of God, we become His children. Many Christians
continue to identify with their past title, a lost sinner. A deeper
understanding of your position within the kingdom of God will help you enjoy the
benefits of God=s
amazing grace. But Jesus said to him, ANo
one having put his hand to the plow, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of
God. @(Luke
9:62) We are new creatures, we put off the old man and put on the new
man, which was created in true righteousness and holiness the old has pasted
away. (Eph 4:24) Bury it, and leave it in the past. Drop
the weight of the past that can hold you back and easily pull you of the path of
righteousness. Act, believe, and know you are more than a sinner. You are much
more than that. Once we identify with our new identity and grow with it, we will
begin to live it, believe it, and walk with God in it.
When Clark Kent would dash into a phone booth ,
strip away his suits, and emerge as Superman; He was no longer the mere mortal
man but a super man. When we have our lives redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
The sinful man is gone the new man is born and then we have the power to leap,
move faster, and conquer anything that previously held us back. (Acts
1:8 and ye shall receive power). Included with that the Holy Spirit
seals us until the day of redemption. (Eph.1: 13-14)
We sometimes tend to forget or deny who we really are in Christ. Who are
you? You are heirs with Christ; you are more than conquerors. The blood of
Christ has redeemed you. You are more than a sinner saved by grace. Believe
it, live it, walk in it with God, and KNOW who you are?
You are c child of God John 1:12 Roman 8:14,15, Gal 3:26, 4:6
You are Christ friend John 15:15
You are a citizen of Heaven Eph 2:19
"To God Be
The Glory"
