Knowing who I am
Knowing who I am
I have been healed. ()
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.
I am the salt of the earth. ()
“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
I am the light of the world. ()
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
I am commissioned to make disciples. (,)
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I am a child of God. ()
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
I have eternal life. ()
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
I have been given peace. ()
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
I am part of the true vine, a channel of Christ’s life. (,)
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.
I am clean. ()
You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.
I am Christ’s friend. ()
I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
I am chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit. ()
You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
I have been given glory. ()
“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.
I have been justified…completely forgiven and made righteous.
()
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
I died with Christ and died to the power of sin’s rule over my life.
()
Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
I am a slave of righteousness. ()
Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.
I am free from sin and enslaved to God. ()
But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.
I am free forever from condemnation. ()
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
I am a son of God; God is spiritually my Father. (,
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
; )
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”
I am a joint heir with Christ, sharing His inheritance with Him
()
And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.
I am more than a conqueror through Christ, who loves me.
()
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
I have faith. ()
Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
I have been sanctified and called to holiness. ()
I am writing to God’s church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
I have been given grace in Christ Jesus. ()
I always thank my God for you and for the gracious gifts he has given you, now that you belong to Christ Jesus.
I have been placed into Christ, by God’s doing. ()
God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.
I have received the Spirit of God into my life that I might know the
things feely given to me by God. ()
And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
I have been given the mind of Christ. ()
For,
“Who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
Who knows enough to teach him?”
But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
I am a temple…a dwelling place…of God. His Spirit and His life dwell
in me. (; )
Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,
I am united to the Lord and am one spirit with Him. ()
But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.
I am bought with a price; I am not my own; I belong to God.
(,; )
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,
for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.
I am called. ()
Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches.
I am a member of Christ’s Body. (; )
All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
And we are members of his body.
I am victorious through Jesus Christ. ()
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
I have been established, anointed and sealed by God in Christ, and I have
been given to the Holy Spirit as a pledge guaranteeing my
inheritance to come. (; ,)
It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us,
And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.
The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
I am led by God in triumphal procession. ()
But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.
I am to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved
and those who are perishing. ()
Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing.
I am being changed into the likeness of Christ. (
So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
Since I have died, I no longer live for myself, but for Christ.
(,)
Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.
He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
I am a new creation. ()
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
I am reconciled to God and am a minister of reconciliation.
(,)
And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.
I have been made righteous. ()
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
I am given strength in exchange for weakness. ()
That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me. The life I am now living is Christ’s life. ()
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I am a son of God and one in Christ. (, )
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
I am Abraham’s seed…an heir of the promise. ()
And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
I am an heir of God since I am a son of God. (,)
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”
Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.

grace.
I have been made alive together with Christ. ()

For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
