Who are you from God's perspective? #15

Sorry for the long break my friends. I have been to Ecuador on a mission trip and then I was back for one day and took the youth from the church to camp for a week. God blessed in many ways but I did miss writing these devotions. So let's return to looking at how God sees us.



What a great verses to return too!



2 Corinthians 1:21-22



21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.



We have no hope without Christ...none! Jesus establishes us when we receive Him as Lord of our lives. We are then anointed to serve Him. Wow just think on that for a moment. The word anointed means: to dedicate to the service of God. Are you fulfilling your anointing? The great news does not stop there, We also have been sealed and given the Spirit! When we are sealed we are protected. Here is another verse that tells us when we are genuinely in Christ nothing can remove us. As this verse goes on to say it is a guarantee! Praise God! We are also told we are given the Spirit which lives in our heart as soon as we accept Jesus as Lord! The Spirit is our guide for life! We must listen to His leading in all areas of our life.



So this morning we see that God sees us as established in Christ, anointed to serve, and sealed by God....forever! A great Word from God to start off our Monday!
