Our True Identity In Christ Jesus! Part (1).

Have you ever thought about your new life in Christ after Salvation and all that Jesus does for you when He saves you? When we put our faith in Jesus he gives us new life and we are a new creation.
2Corinthians; 5:17
(Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new has come.)
We are not reformed, rehabilitated, or re-educated, we are recreated(New Creation), living in vital union with Christ.
You are also justified(Declared not guilty of sin)
Romans; 3: 22-24
(This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.)
We are not condemned for our sins, and we are set free from the law of sin and death.
Romans; 8: 1-2
(Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit set me free from the law of sin and death.)

We have been sanctified and acceptable in Jesus Christ.
1Corinthians; 1:2
(To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ-their Lord and ours:)
Sanctified means that we are chosen or set apart by Christ for His service.
We are also righteous and holy in Christ.
1Corinthians; 1:30
(It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom in God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.)
1Thessalonians; 4:7
(For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.)
We will be made alive at the resurrection.
1Corinthians; 15:21-22
(For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.)

We receive God's righteousness.
2Corinthians; 5:21
( God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.)
We we trust in Christ, we make an exchange-our sin for His righteousness.
You and I and all who have believed in Jesus become one in him.
Galatians; 3:26-28
( You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.)
We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. We are holy, blameless, and covered with God's love. We have been adopted as God's children.
Ephesians; 1:3-6
(Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will-to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves.)
Our sins are taken away and we are forgiven.
Ephesians; 1:7
(In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.)

Next blog I will continue with more of our true identity in Christ.

God Bless You!
