What do you see when you look at your selfie?
Is your true identity being revealed?
More importantly, what does God see when He looks at you? What does God see when He looks at any Christian?
What is the true identity of all Christians? Part two.
A Christian is:
Called by God.
A Christian is a person called by God.
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9 NLT)
Given faith to believe.
A Christian is a person who has received the gift of faith from God.
Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. (Romans 12:3 NLT)
So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. (Romans 10:17 NLT)
For the word of God is alive and powerful. (Hebrews 4:12 NLT)
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT)
Favored by God.
A Christian is a person who is favored by God.
Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. (Ephesians 1:11NLT)
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28 NLT)
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 NLT)
Eternally saved.
A Christian is a person who will never lose his/her salvation.
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, (John 10:28 NLT)
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6 NLT)
