KNOWING WHO YOU ARE AS A CHRISTIAN
It is good to learn exactly who a Christian becomes when he joins the Body of Christ and what GOD provides for him in his SON Jesus Christ, along with the enabling of the Holy Spirit. Too often, we do not understand what is happening to us spiritually. We really need to know what the scriptures explain about us after we are saved. We need to understand our new relationship with our Father, his Son, and the Holy Spirit.
These scriptures are a joyous encouragement and very up-building to a Christian or to anyone seeking to be a Christian: a platform from which to go forth and follow-through after being saved in our relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—something to make us better fathers, mothers, children, and neighbors, as we hold hands in the Mightiness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is good to read each declaration. Confess it aloud. Then read aloud each supporting scripture. Remember dear Christian, each scripture is about you personally. Please be encourage to look-up and read each scripture. Allow God’s Holy Spirit to minister these wonderful truths to you. You will be quickened, strengthened, and blessed.
