My Identity In Christ

God wants us to know who we are and to know Him. Knowing God’s character will help us to discover more about ourselves, after all we are made in His image and likeness.

The main purpose of our life on this planet is to honor and serve the Lord. The personality that God has given us will never change, It’s been created by God according to the plan and purpose He has for my life. He intentionally made us the way we are, and it’s pleasing  to Him when we accept the way he has created us and the personality that has given us, because they are the tools that will help me achieve His purpose for me in this planet .

I honor God by  accepting and loving Myself. This is extremely important that we make the decision everyday to see ourselves as valuable and precious, because that is the identity we have in Jesus. God commands us to love ourselves and this is very important for a successful life. The way you see yourself, will be what you project to others.

A very important thing to remember is that our identity is not determined by what we do or what we think about ourselves or how much money I have in my bank account. None of that determines my value, nor the circumstances determine my worth, you never lose your value as a person because it has been set by Jesus on the cross. So if you feel low self - esteem is based on the wrong beliefs that you had about yourself, the good news is that we can change the way we think about ourselves and our behavior.

When we become a new person in Christ , all your sins have been erased and God give us a new beginning, a fresh start. He has made ​​a "covenant" with Jesus, to see us valuable, precious, holy, justified, without guilt and shame washed and made new in His blood, and this is our true identity and should be the way we think about ourselves,  what God says in his word.

Here  I leave these verses about our identity in Jesus:
