Christians sometimes get caught up in life and forget who they are in Christ. Lately, I have been meditating on the truths about who I am in Christ. I find great comfort and healing in these words. Do not feel boastful in believing yourself to be a saint. There is no greater humility than submitting yourself fully to God. If a Christian does not believe any of these statements, he calls God a liar. We are what we are, but it’s so much more than that. We are everything Christ says we are.
All of these words are Scripture. If you will, read this aloud, slowly, and read the verses that back up each statement so you will grasp the truths better. I encourage you to pick one truth per day and meditate on it throughout the whole day. Do this every day until the list is complete.

IMPORTANT:
My Facebook and World Race blog is going on lockdown from November 15th- January 1st. Due to the oppression of Christians in Laos, we must be careful to keep our contacts safe. I will not be there until next month, but we have to be as safe as possible. If you want to read my blog, enter the password, “Mosaic” (No quotations). Thank you!
