A New Identity in Christ
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
~ Ephesians 5:17 ~
By accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we are marked with a new identity before the Father in heaven. It is an explicit rendition that :
- There is assurance for the forgiveness of our sins, and we are set free from the strongholds of life prior to Christ.
- We stop living for ourselves and start living for God.
- We have the privilege to be called sons and daughters of God.
- We are given the Holy Spirit, who is our helper and counselor, during this lifetime on earth.
- We have an eternal home with the Father in heaven that we could look forward to.
As a new creation in Christ, we have access to the glory of God. Moving progressively into His presence, a life-changing transformation begins within us. The secrets to an abundant life unlocks as we draw closer to Christ.
God forms us. Sin deforms us. Christ transforms us. From the moment we believe, we have an eternal identity in Christ. No longer are we victims of circumstances in this fallen world. We can capitalize on the challenges and emerge a victor together with Christ. It is the Christ in us, which gives the hope of glory.
