God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.  2 Corinthians 5:21

You and I live by faith. We trust God’s Word to define our identity. 

Satan wants to deceive you and steal from you the awareness of who you are in Christ Jesus. 

You are who God says you are! 

The Bible Says you are*: 

A Child of God
John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God –

A Friend of Jesus
John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 

No longer condemned
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 

A fellow heir of Jesus
Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 

A new creation
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
