Equipped To Live Out Your Identity

Devotional Reading: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Ephesians 1:3 ESV

It’s essential for us to believe the truth as outlined by God alone and what He victoriously declares about who we are in Christ: You are Accepted. Chosen. Loved. Holy. Blameless. Redeemed. Completely made new. Purposed. Free.

Each of these words could take a lifetime of seeking, learning and trusting God to help us fully grasp the enormity of the power of each of these descriptions of who we are!

We have been empowered to overcome sin and equipped to make revolutionary changes in our lives because of what Jesus has done for us and who we are as a result. Without this knowledge, it’s far too easy to struggle with trying to define and live out our true identities in our own power. But with our identity in Christ, we have everything we need to completely transform our purpose and the direction for our lives!

As you go out today, ask God to further equip your life with His Truth, shoring up in your heart all His promises regarding your identity in Him. Our God is the God of the immeasurably more. All-powerful, and always at work within us to bring about His best for us, for our good and His glory [Ephesians 3:20]! He is inexhaustible in riches and mercy. Whatever you ask, expect that He will do that and more!

Prayer and Confession
Lord, strengthen my heart to grasp further the truth of my identity in You so I can be more effective in my walk with you. Amen!
