Who you are in Christ.

When we become followers of Jesus the bible tells us we have many traits. Today we will start a series on who we are in Christ. These are truths. Many followers of Jesus struggle with their identity as a follower and it causes all kinds of problems in life and in their walk with God. It is of great importance we KNOW, not think, who we are in Christ and then live like it. It is an essential part of our faith! So here we go:

1. I am a child of God! John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

You may have been born to parents here on earth but when you give your life to Jesus, you are born again and become a child of God. Do you live as a child of God? Think about what that means. Father God loves and takes care of His children. He also will straighten us out if we get out of line. He gives us what we need. He listens to us. He blesses us. He even gave His life for us through His Son Jesus!!! Wow what love! God loves you, you are His child! Look at this promise:

Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

As children we inherit the Kingdom of God.....WHHOOO HOOOO! Think on that! What an awesome Father we have!

Are you living as a child of God. If you are a follower of Jesus you are a child of God. So represent your daddy well!
