DEFINING YOURSELF ACCORDING TO WHAT GOD SAYS YOU ARE

17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Our world today has evolved and witnessed a lot of things; we have passed through so many ages in history. But in the change of things there still remains one thing. A search for happiness. This search is found in every human being; and the truth of the matter still remains.Thispursuitdefinesus.

Many have turned to social media; Hollywood and Religion to fill in the gaps in pursuit of happiness. But man has been created to worship. The very element thatbringshappinesstoone.

When we identify the need to worship God whole heartedly and surrender fully; God becomes the King of your heart. This means the will and purpose of God isyourpriority.

The moment we surrender our selves to God; there are thingsthatfalluponusthatformpartofouridentity.

Tomentionafew:

1. We become sons and daughters

John 1:11

He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

John 1:12

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

We are given the rights to become the Children of God. There are legalities that have been met the moment we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. All legalitieshavebeendemandedandmetontheCross.

Ephesians 1:7

He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

2. We overcome Romans 8:37

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. We are surrounded by hopeless people that we sometimes use those people to quantify our ability to overcome. But God has made His children overcomers. When we are going through an unfortunatesituationoradarkphaseinourlives,we tend to think that there is no way out and forget that our God is sovereign and that there is nothing too hardHim.Godhasmadeusmorethanconquerors.

3.Blessed

“When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.” C. S. Lewis

Never believe God is done with you if you do not see the blessing. Job declared that God is able to do all things even before his things were restored [Job 42:2]. This proves to us that Job knew the true character of God and his circumstances did not change the way he views God. No matter how dark and hopeless situations have been in my life. I have always carried a confidence that God intends good for me. Just imagine Job in the Bible, he had everything, and lost everything, including his kids [Job 1:13-22] and Job never doubted God, not even once. The Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twiceasmuchashehadbefore [Job 42:10-12].

These 3 realms discussed. There are many to add; butthecoremustremainassuch:

Our identity is found in Jesus Christ, when we make GodasourLordandSavior.
