What am I in Christ?

As a disciple, I am a friend of Jesus Christ.

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business.  Instead, I have called you my friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." ~ John 15:15

I am confident that God will complete the good work He started in me.

"Be confident in this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completition until the day of Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 1:6

I am a citizen of heaven.

"But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." ~ Philippians 3:20

I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and s.e.l.f. c.o.n.t.r.o.l.

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidy, but of power, of love, and self-discipline." ~ 2 Timothy 1:7

I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit..

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go an bear fruit, fruit that will last.  Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." ~ John 15:16

I am God's temple.

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's spirit lives in you?"~ 1 Corinthians 3:16

I am able to come to God with freedom

"In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence." ~ Ephesians 3:12

I am the s.a.l.t. o.f. t.h.e. e.a.r.t.h.

"You are the salt of the earth.  But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?  It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men." ~ Matthew 5:13

I am saved by grace...

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." ~ Ephesians 2:8

I am a worshiper, who worships the Father in spirit and truth.

"God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and truth." ~ John 4:24

I have been justified.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ Romans 5:11

I have been bought with a price

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own, you were bought with a price.  Therefore, honor God with your body." ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I am an heir with the Father and co-heir with Chirst

"Now if we are His children, then we are His heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. " ~ Romans 8:17

I am dearly loved :))

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." ~ 1 John 4:16

...and my personal favorite... ((:
I am a branch of Jesus Christ, the true vine, and a channel of His life..

"I am the vine; you are the branches.  If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you have nothing." ~ John 15:5

Jesus has been stretching my faith, my love, and my walk with Him.  And to be honest, if I did not have Him as the rock of my salvation, I would be lost... and so wrong.  Once again, I am thankful that He is investing His time to work in my life.  Every day brings a new blessing, and every day I learn something new :) I have learned not to complain when I have a bad day or when something goes wrong.. or even when I am afraid. I will remember the beautiful promises made by the Lord Jesus Christ.  And like a special person told me today...

"Blessed is the way to be..."

:D!

I came to realize that whenever I have a bad day, I will meditate on God's promises, and let the peace of the Lord...   r.u.l.e. m.y. h.e.a.r.t.
For I am dearly loved and God's treasure.. apart from Him I have nothing...
:))

P.S.
"Don't worry about anything, intead pray about everything.  Tell God your needs and remember to thank Him for His answers.  Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-8

His,
