Your Identity In Christ

Do you realize who you are in Christ? Many believers may not really understand who they are in Christ. They have never been taught that their identity as a child of God is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Your identity as a child of God is proven through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Your identity as a child of God is experienced through prayer. You call upon God as your Father, because of your faith in Christ. As the Father's child, you ask Him to forgive you, give to you according to your need, and to deliver you from evil. You ask for His will to be done in your life.

The believer is not a beggar in prayer. You come to God as a child to his father. It's your birthright through faith in Christ. That's the reason you pray in Jesus name. Your requests are made to our Father in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ, who has all authority in heaven and on earth. That's your identity as a child of God.

Receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is receiving God as your Father. Come to the Father through the Son. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12). God your Father is revealed to you through His Son. Knowing God as your Father is believing in Christ His Son. That's your identity in Christ.
