I hear so many times " God doesn't love me or at least He shouldn't" .
My friend, Nothing can stop God from loving you, not even you!
God is so amazing! He loves YOU so much He gave up his only Son to die for your sins.
When we allow Satan to steal our identity in Christ by believing the lies the world tells us, he can keep us distracted and even stop us from living the full life God has for us.
Would you find it easier to realize how much God loves you, if you understood how God thinks of you? Let's look at the truth about your identity in Christ and who God says you are...
Below are just a few verses from God's Word. As you read them put yourself into the verse and read it out loud.
You are: ( remember to replace with...I am)
equipped through Christ with “every spiritual blessing” (v. 3)
chosen in Him “before the foundation of the world” (v. 4)
regarded as “holy and blameless before Him” (v. 4)
adopted through the “kind intention of His will” (v. 5)
redeemed and forgiven, “lavished” with grace (vv. 7– 8)
recipients of a glorious “inheritance” in heaven (v. 11)
secured forever by “the Holy Spirit of promise” (vv. 13– 14)
The short version of Ephesians 1:3-14
as found in Priscilla Shirer's book Fervent
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”
- 1 John 3:1
Do you feel a little different about yourself after reading God's Word and seeing the truth about your identity in Christ as God says you are? There is so much God has to say about His love for us, we only need to seek it out.
