In Christ Scriptures
Your identity, who you are in Christ, is one of the greatest revelations of the Bible. Below is a list of the verses that tell you who are in Christ. Mediate on these verses. Take just one of them and think about it; think about what it means to you and your life. Think about how you would teach what it means to someone else. If you can, journal about it, write it down. Pray about it, memorise it, speak it out loud, put it on a Post-it note and stick it to your bathroom mirror. If that verse is particularly tricky for you, stick with that verse for a few days. Let its truth and power sink into your spirit as you start to see yourself as God sees you. It’s a remarkable journey of discovery.
