Your Identity in Christ

How do you see yourself? When people don't define themselves by natural accomplishment, they tend to define themselves by their physiological and Psychological identifications. These identifications are subject to change, if they change, it does not mean that we have lost our identity. Our real self is not in our tribe, race, colour or personality.

Personality tests cannot reveal who we truly are in our born again spirit nor can they reveal the abilities that God has given us to do what He called us to do. They only reveal our current psychological state.

Self Image - How do you see yourself?

We often describe ourselves by our natural accomplishments, professions etc, but if these things are stripped away from us, how would we see ourselves?

The New You in Christ

The believer is re-birthed by God and a new life and identity  as a result. This new life is superior to the natural human life and the details about the new life in Christ Jesus is documented in the holy scriptures in the bible.

The regenerative change that took place in the life of a believer when they believed in Jesus took place in their spirit and not in my mind or body.

The Holy Spirit represents Jesus in our lives to give us all the help we need to become who God created us to be despite the forces of the world that work against us. He comforts us when we are in distress and gives us the right counsel.

The Holy Spirit is a guide who shows us how and where to get the truth. He does not learn the truth for us so we need must be willing to know the truth.

The Holy Spirit will help us acquire depth of insight into God’s word and not mere mental accent. He announces to us in detail what Jesus has done for us.

The Holy does not glorify (honour, draw attention) to people but to Jesus Christ.

One of the greatest weapon of the devil against us is deception. He tries to deceive us into doing the wrong things so that he can attack us.

The Holy Spirit is the one who will guide us into the truth that will keep us safe. The Holy Spirit does not reveal general truths that are common sense but spiritual truths that reveal our identity, rights and privileges in Christ.

We are constantly bombarded with lies about Christianity, God, our identity and many other things. Thank God for the Holy Spirit who reveals the truth to about these things. A person who is not a member of God's spiritual family via the new birth cannot understand or accept the spiritual truths revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Believers who are sense ruled and embrace ungodliness especially envy and strife, cannot receive great spiritual insights that will help them grow up spiritually. Believers must always bear in mind that they are not ordinary people and live like spiritual people in Christ Jesus.

There are false realities built up in our subconscious minds and drives our behaviour. God wants us to be free from the false realities that keep us in bondages. We hope this message will help you to start evaluating the realities that drive your negative behaviours and seek out the truth in God's word to see things the way they truly are and respond correctly.

We are heavily bombarded with lies on every side, lies ensnares us but the truth sets us free. It is important to know that what the society sometime presents to us as truth is not always the truth. Who is the source of the beliefs we claim as truth - God, the World, the Devil, our flesh or feelings?

The resurrection of Christ is the evidence of our complete victory over sin and spiritual death. It is the reason for our new life in Christ.
