Some of my Position in Christ
I.‘I am Secure:’ free forever
from condemnation {Rom. 8:1-2}. I cannot be separated from the love of God; and
I have been forgiven, established, anointed and sealed by the Holy Spirit— Romans
8:35-39; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22. I am “hidden with Christ in God,” can
find mercy and grace “in time of need,” and am born of Him and thus
cannot be touched by the evil one— Colossians 3:3; Hebrews 4:16; 1 John 5:18.
II.
‘I
am Accepted:’ a child of God, the friend of Christ, and one spirit with
Him— John 1:12; 15:15; 1 Corinthians 6:17. The Father has declared me righteous
in His sight, adopted me into His Family, given me direct access to Himself
through the Person of Jesus Christ, redeemed my soul and forgiven my sins, and
made me complete in His Son— Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:18; Colossians 1:14 and
2:10.
III.‘I
am Significant:’ I am created in Him from the foundation of the world. I am the salt and light of the Earth {Mat. 5:13-14}; a
branch of the True Vine, a channel of His Life {Jn. 15:1-5}; a personal witness
of Jesus Christ {Acts 1:8} entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation” {2
Cor. 5:18}. I am God’s “workmanship, created ...for good works;” I can
approach Him with freedom and confidence, and “do all things through” Him
“who strengthens me,” through the One who keeps on pouring His power
into me— Eph. 2:10; 3:12; and Phi. 4:13. I am healed completely spirit, soul and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
