I am…
In Ephesians 1:3-14, the Apostle Paul gives us the lead story of the Gospel by reminding us who we are in Christ.
Read through the text. I have turned these statements of Paul about our identity in Christ into “I am…” statements. I encourage you for the next few days to repeatedly run these statements through your mind and be gloriously reminded who you are in Christ.
I am blessed (vs. 3) in heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing,
I am chosen (vss. 4 & 11) in him before the creation of the world,
I am holy (vs 4),
I am blameless (vs.4 ) in his sight,
I am loved (vs. 4),
I am predestined (vs. 5),
I am adopted (vs. 5) as God’s child through Jesus Christ,
I am graced (vs. 6-7),
I am redeemed (vs. 7) through his blood,
I am for the praise of his glorious grace (vss. 12 & 14),
I am included (vs. 13) in Christ,
I am marked in him (vss. 13-14) with his seal.
This week … you think about that.
