As I prepared this blog post, I became emotional. I am moved by who God’s Word says I am. These are wonderful reminders to all of us regarding our position in Christ.
I am God’s friend
Not only is Jesus my friend, but I’m His friend too. I can tell him anything in confidence. I mean, who’s He going to tell? And He’s confided in me through His Word.
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know
his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends,
for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:15
I am a child of God
My dad passed away ten years ago. But my Father is alive, and I am His beloved daughter. I believe in Him and received Him into my heart and life.
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12
I am loved, alive with Christ, and saved by His grace
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—
it is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:4-5
I am a citizen of heaven
Earth is my temporary dwelling place. I await my eternal home.
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await
a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:20
I am God’s coworker
Working side by side with Christ to be a light in the darkness, to love and encourage others, and to spread the Good News.
As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:1
I am God’s workmanship
I am His work of art. He created and designed me for a purpose—to do good works.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
I am strong in Christ
He strengthens me with power, courage, and wisdom. Equips me with whatever I need so I can do what He’s called me to do. Christ is enough.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13
If you know Christ Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, these “I am” statements are yours too.
Be blessed today knowing how important you are to Him.
All scripture is from the New International Version.
