Paul is speaking here, but he is reiterating what you are to the Lord.
We hear alot about who I am in Christ, but little about who you are to Him.
You are:
His beloved ( longed for brethren)
His joy
His crown ( crown of creation)
His own special kin
His chosen generation
His holy nation
His possession (bought with a price)
His elect Col. 3:12
His precious
His fellow worker
His field
His building; His temple 1 Cor. 6:19
His child
His branch of the true vine, and a conduit of Christ’s life. John 15:1,5
His friend John 15:15
His justified and redeemed. Romans 3:24
His creation --So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away--look, what is new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17)
His chosen --For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love (Ephesians 1:4).
His inheritance.His workmanship --For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them (Ephesians 2:10).
His light… For you were at one time darkness, but now you are the light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light (Ephesians 5:8).
His completeness
His life… For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Gal 2:20
His glory--When Christ (who is your life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him (Colossians 3:4).
His fellow heir Rom. 8:17, Gal. 4:7
His accepted Romans 15:7
His righteousness 1 Cor. 1:30, 2 Cor. 5:21
His little spirit, one spirit with Him.
But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him (1 Corinthians 6:17).
His seatmate… And he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus … (Ephesians 2:6).
His partaker of His promise.… The Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 3:6). (See also Ephesians 5:30.)
