WHO I AM IN CHRIST . . .

WHO I AM IN CHRIST . . .

"Those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and
desires." (Galatians 5:24)

Before I share some insights I have learned on the last part of this
verse, I want to remind you WHO you are IN CHRIST. Over the past year of
Freedom Fighter journaling's, we have looked at this important phrase
numerous times -- it's good to review it often. The moment you trusted
Christ as Savior, you received a NEW identity. You were transferred from
the "kingdom of darkness" to the "kingdom of His dear Son." You are no
longer of this world -- you are IN CHRIST!

With that new identity comes some mind-boggling truths that you need to
hold on to as you navigate life in this ever-changing crazy world.
Believe me -- Satan does not want you to grasp or understand this truth
-- He'd rather you live in bondage to the old identity and live a life
of defeat rather than a life of victory.

I remind you of who you are IN CHRIST -- (and it will take a few days to
scratch just the surface . . .) Don't just take MY word for it -- Check
out the Scriptures with each truth!

1. You are justified -- COMPLETE forgiven. (Romans 5:1)
2. You died WITH Christ and died to the POWER of sin's RULE over your
life. (Romans 6:1-11)
3. You are free from CONDEMNATION! (Romans 8:1)
4. You have been placed into Christ by God's doing. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
5. You have received the Spirit of God that you may KNOW the things
freely given to you by God. (1 Corinthians 2:12)
6. You have been given the MIND of Christ. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
7. You have been bought with a price; You are NOT your own; You belong
to God. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

This is just the beginning my friend. Over the next several days we want
to rehearse who we are IN CHRIST. It is when you understand this AMAZING
truth -- that you will live life to the fullest. Rejoice today, my
friend at your NEW identity!
"Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or
obligation can bind you. Grace is free, but when once you take it you
are bound forever to the Giver, and bound to catch the spirit of the
Giver. Like produces like, Grace makes you gracious, the Giver makes you
give."E. Stanley Jones
