Living with Courage in a Culture of Compromise w5

My identity “in Christ”:
1. I Am Totally Accepted By Him Because I Am Chosen in Him.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” I Peter 2:9-10

“You did not choose me, but I chose you…” John 15:16

“For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight.”  Ephesians 1:4

I Don’t Have to Live for Acceptance;
I Can Live Because I Am Accepted!!!

2. I Am Extremely Valuable To Him Because I Have Been Bought By Him.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” I Peter 2:9

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”  I Corinthians 6:19-20

“I Don’t Have To Live Trying To Prove I’m Valuable; I Can Live Because He’s Already Proven I Am Valuable!!!
