My New Life in Christ!

Those who trust Jesus are given a new identity and a new destiny! Here is an introduction to what is true of all who trust in Christ:

  • I am not condemned
    Romans 8:1 - Because Jesus took my sin and gave me His righteousness, I can stand before God with no condemnation.

  • I am God’s child
    Ephesians 1:5 - We’ve been adopted by God to be his child. He chose us!

  • I am rescued from sin’s control
    Romans 6:17-22 - Sin does not need to be master over us.

  • I can have a close relationship with God
    Hebrews 4:16 - God wants to extend grace and mercy to me, and to draw near. We can be in the presence of the Almighty God!

  • I receive a new nature to do good things
    Ephesians 4:22-24 - You have a new capacity to do the right things that please God.

  • I have been given a special gift for service to the church
    1 Corinthians 12:12-30, Romans 12:6-8 & Ephesians 4:11-12 - When someone is saved, they receive a “spiritual gift.” This is a special gift that God gives believers to serve Him and serve others.

  • I am a member of Christ's body of Believers
    1 Corinthians 12:12 - You are not alone; you are part of the worldwide church. Go almost anywhere in the world and you will find “sisters” and “brothers” in Christ.

  • I am assured that all things work out for good

  • I cannot be separated from God’s love
    Romans 8:35-39 - Nothing can separate you from God’s love... Nothing!

  • I have been sealed by God with the Holy Spirit
    Ephesians 1:13-14 - The Holy Spirit was given as a “seal” that indicates you are His. He also guides and encourages us. Jesus called Him the “helper” or “comforter.”

  • I have eternal life in heaven
