Who I Am in Jesus

Who You Are In Jesus

Why do I need to know who I am in Jesus?

You need to know who you are in Jesus so that you can live your life as God intended and fulfill your destiny. The more you agree with God about your identity in Jesus, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your GOD-GIVEN identity.

I encourage you to learn to see yourself as God sees you. God's opinion is the one that counts. Accept what God says about you, agree with Him that it is true of you, and become the spiritual person you are.

Understanding who you are in Jesus 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 and a life lived ON purpose.

Your identity doesn't depend on something you do or have done. Your true identity is who God says you are.

Once you choose to follow Jesus, you become a new creation. The old you passes away, and you become who you are in Him.

Please stop living out of who other people say you are and take hold of the truth of God's word.

Find out what God says about you and agree with Him. You need to know WHO you are in Jesus (because of Him) so that you know WHAT to do, WHEN to do it, WHERE to go, and HOW to do it!

Applying Your Identity in Jesus
Simply choose every day to believe what God says about you. "How can two walk together unless they agree?" (Amos 3:3)

Try reading the above list every day for a month, preferably out loud. The more you know who you are in Jesus, the more your behavior will reflect your true identity. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2)

To live an effective Christian life, you need to KNOW and BELIEVE who you are in Jesus.

Understanding your identity in Jesus is crucial to living life as God intended.

The best way to renew your mind and experience inner transformation is by knowing, thinking, and speaking out loud who you are in Jesus.

Train yourself to say the same things that God says in His word. Become who you ALREADY ARE in Jesus. God wants to do more in your life than you imagine.
