MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT
Who Are We?
It seems everywhere we look today, there is confusion. Our nation is in an identity crisis. Our children are being bombarded with conflicting information on just about everything, including their gender. Did you know that at least 16 states allow a parent to choose “gender neutral” on their newborn’s birth certificate?
Roger Kittle, our Campus Chaplain, has been leading our devotions the past couple of weeks. His focus has been on the Names of God, and who we are in Christ. There is no identity confusion for a believer! Read just a few of the “I am” statements in the Bible:
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, I am saved by God’s amazing grace, I am washed with the blood of Jesus, I am forgiven of all my sins, I am chosen, I am redeemed, I am free from condemnation, I am free from the curse of the law, I am the righteousness of God, I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus, I am holy and blameless in His sight, I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I am adopted into His family, I am transformed by the renewing of my mind, I am blessed with the mind of Christ, I am a new creation, I am crucified with Christ, I am justified, I am sanctified, I am at peace with God, I am more than a conqueror, I am rescued from the powers of darkness, I am standing firm against the enemy, I am not anxious about anything, I am not alone, I am an ambassador for Jesus, I am reconciled to God and a minister of reconciliation, I am confident my name is written in the Book of Life, I am a friend of God, I am a holy priest, I am God’s workmanship, I am bought with a price, I am a citizen of heaven, I am a saint, I am a partaker of the divine nature, I am loved by God, I am a child of God.
No identity crisis here. Thanks for the reminder, Roger!
