My Identity in Christ


81
Romans 8:1, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
That God is sovereign impacts our sense of identity. When we understand how powerful God is and how much He loves us, we can know we are secure in Him. As the objects of God’s sovereign love, we allow God to define us and give us our worth rather than look to the changing ideals of the world to do so. When we understand that God is in complete control, we are freed to live our lives.
We need not fear ultimate failure or final destruction (Romans 8:1).
We need not fear worthlessness. We can be confident that God will have His way and that it will be good.
We can trust that the One who says He loves us is fully able to act on that love in all ways.
We can trust that, even when the world seems completely out of control, God is in control. 
We know He has the big picture covered, so we can trust Him with our daily details.
Dear God, I am so grateful for my new identity and security in Christ!  Praise be to God!
