Do You Know Who You Are?
Dearly beloved of God, do you know who you really are. I’ll tell you who you are. You are a child of God, born of the spirit from Him. You are born again of the spirit of sonship. That makes you a son of God, an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ.
God made you a member of the body of Christ, which is the Church. The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of this body, and you are a member in particular. God your Father freely gives you all things with Christ. Everything that you are, you are in Christ. You are filled with all in all of you.
Now you have Christ in you, the hope of glory, and in Christ God your Father has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm.
You are complete in Christ, who is the head of all principality and power. You are as he is. You are united with him in his accomplishments, justified and glorified with him. You are one with him as a husband and wife are one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.
Who are you dearly beloved? I will tell you who you are. You are a child of God, an heir of God, a joint heir with Christ, a citizen of the heavenly realm, a member of the household of God, and a member of the body of Christ. You have entered the kingdom of God by the new birth, and you will physically enter it when Christ gathers us up to him in the air.
You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus, and you have the victory over the world, over the reign of sin and death, and you will reign with Christ forever and ever.
Who are you? I will tell you who you are. You are a pearl of great price to the Father. You are His lost sheep that was found. You are the object of His love and affection, His dearly beloved, and you are highly favored in His sight. His ears are open to your prayers, and you are always under His watchful care. There is nothing good that He will withhold from you. You are so privileged in His sight that He has granted you access to His throne of grace any time you wish to use it.
Who are you in His sight, dearly beloved? You stand before your Father in Christ, and in him you are righteous, holy, unimpeachable, and without blame in His sight. You are saved, redeemed, reconciled, and sanctified as His child.
Too often we are persuaded by what the world says, and we believe what we see with our eyes, and hear with our ears. We become tone deaf to what God says of us. Listen to what God your Father says about you, and what He sees in you. Believe who He says you are in Christ, dearly beloved because you are all of these things in His sight, and so much more.
