A LIFE CHANGING TRUTH
Most people identify themselves with their families, their jobs, their social clubs, their accomplishments, etc. If you think about it, our father’s and mother’s gave us death. They gave us a dead spirit (dead to God and alive to sin), a soul that was bound for hell, and a body that was dying the minute it was born. This is our "human” or “natural” inheritance. Also, many times people look at what they do or the things they’ve accomplished in life. This is not “who we are.” They are very fleeting and not a solid foundation to build a life on.
When we become a Christian, Jesus not only enters into our life but just as importantly -we enter into His life (the life of God – the eternal life). His life - always has been – is now – and will always be. His life is eternal – eternal past, eternal present, and eternal future. So as Christians we“IDENTIFY” with His life – the life of God – the Eternal One’s life. This is who we are.
Many people think humility is thinking of themselves as lowly and not very worthy. Actually, this is “not” humility. True humility is accepting the truth as fact and believing the truth about ourselves. God by His grace, love, and mercy has given us so many things. The list below is “WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST.” It is now the life, gifts, and existence of God that we identify with as Christians.
But aren’t we supposed to be humble as Christians? Yes, true humility says, “I am all this because of what Jesus Christ has done for me on the cross.” (It is because of
him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God – that is our holiness, righteousness, and redemption. Therefore, let him who boasts,
boast in the Lord – (1 Cor.1:30,31)
We can sin two ways here. We can sin by not accepting the truth about ourselves and thereby hurt God. Or we can sin by becoming “puffed up” with spiritual pride thinking we are better than others. Remember, it is because of him….his death on the cross…..his wonderful grace to us who deserved nothing but hell, separation from God for eternity, and death. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Let’s take some time now and read “outloud” who we are in Christ. The term “in Christ” (“in love,” “in whom,” “in him,” etc.) is mentioned over 100 times in the New Testament. We have passed over from death (the wages of sin is death) to life (but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus). We were in Adam – identified with our earthly parentage – and now we are in Christ – identified with our spiritual parentage– God. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“IT IS BECAUSE OF HIM THAT YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO HAS BECOME FOR US WISDOM FROM GOD….
THAT IS OUR HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND REDEMPTION.
THEREFORE, LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.” (1 COR.1:30-31)
Most people identify themselves with their families, their jobs, their social clubs, their accomplishments, etc. If you think about it, our father’s and mother’s gave us death. They gave us a dead spirit (dead to God and alive to sin), a soul that was bound for hell, and a body that was dying the minute it was born. This is our "human” or “natural” inheritance. Also, many times people look at what they do or the things they’ve accomplished in life. This is not “who we are.” They are very fleeting and not a solid foundation to build a life on.
When we become a Christian, Jesus not only enters into our life but just as importantly -we enter into His life (the life of God – the eternal life). His life - always has been – is now – and will always be. His life is eternal – eternal past, eternal present, and eternal future. So as Christians we“IDENTIFY” with His life – the life of God – the Eternal One’s life. This is who we are.
Many people think humility is thinking of themselves as lowly and not very worthy. Actually, this is “not” humility. True humility is accepting the truth as fact and believing the truth about ourselves. God by His grace, love, and mercy has given us so many things. The list below is “WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST.” It is now the life, gifts, and existence of God that we identify with as Christians.
But aren’t we supposed to be humble as Christians? Yes, true humility says, “I am all this because of what Jesus Christ has done for me on the cross.” (It is because of

We can sin two ways here. We can sin by not accepting the truth about ourselves and thereby hurt God. Or we can sin by becoming “puffed up” with spiritual pride thinking we are better than others. Remember, it is because of him….his death on the cross…..his wonderful grace to us who deserved nothing but hell, separation from God for eternity, and death. Thank you Lord Jesus.
