Our Identity in Christ - 2

First:          we are uniquely crafted by God.   We are His design,
Second:      we are particularly chosen by God,  known by him before He 
                   even laid the foundations of the earth.
Thirdly:      we are loved by God, loved as His own children.
Fourthly:    we are born again to a living hope:    

How:  God  sent his "Only begotten, beloved son" to pay for our sins by his death.  Praise the LORD he rose again but that didn't make the death any less  painful because what killed him was that He had to bear all the sins of the world in order for his death to cover them.  It was our sins on Christ that killed Him.

Fifthly:       we are declared Righteous by Christ's death.


Romans 5:1   Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have  peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:9   Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God


Jesus Christ is our Righteousness  (I usually write that +R)
                               +R Imputed  -  Justification
                               +R Imparted - Sanctification

We are truly beloved by our Father God.   How I praise Him and worship Him and delight in Him.







These 
are 
NOT 
my 
own 
personal 
thoughts 
but 
a 
series 
of 
messages 
being 
currently
preached 
in 
our 
church 
about 
our 
Uniqueness 
in 
Christ.   




Actually, I  only  posted  two verses but I urge you, if you read this, to  go and read Romans chapter 5 and rejoice your heart in Him.
