Who you are in Christ

[Jamie]

The difference between who we are in Christ and what we do is huge. We are so much more than our jobs, our accomplishments, or our failures. Our identity comes from Jesus. In and of ourselves, we are nothing, we have nothing, and we can do nothing of eternal value. But in Christ, we can be, do, and have everything God promises us in His Word.

An attitude of confidence will exude from us when we know who we are in Christ and believe in the power that the Bible says is ours through faith. We are enabled to live new lives because of who we are in Christ.

Our identity in Christ.

For our sake He made Christ to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].
2 Co 5:21.

Righteousness in Christ means being justified, forgiven, and adopted into God’s family. It is a gift from God received by faith.
