18 Verses to Embrace our Identity in Christ
From the sermon ‘Unmasking Deception.’
If we don’t find our identity in Christ, we’ll find it somewhere else.
The Bible gives us a clear answer to our identity. We are His. We have been chosen and created for a purpose. In spite of our weaknesses, insecurities, confusions, we are made in the image of God.
Who God says I am:
- A new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)

- A friend of Jesus (John 15:15)
- God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10)
- An heir (Romans 8:17)
- A sanctified saint (1 Corinthians 1:2)
- A temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19)
- A member of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27)
- An ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20)
- The righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21)
- Chosen (Ephesians 1:4)
- Adopted (Ephesians 1:5)
- Redeemed and forgiven (Ephesians 1:7)
- Sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13)
