I learned that when I got born again, God gave me a new identity since I became a new creation, while I also gained an assurance that He sees me in a positive light than I see myself. Besides, I learned that every part of my body is important; consequently, now I walk in confidence knowing I’m important as part of the body of Christ. I live my life knowing that regardless of my abilities, gifts, or position in life, I have an important role to play since I have a purpose that I should fulfil.

I now do understand that my holiness doesn’t come from what I’ve done what Christ did on the cross. In other words, am not a saint because I’ve lived a perfect life, but, I’m a saint because of what Jesus did, since I believe in Him.

I have more confidence in myself, my prayer life, my work, my relationships, because my true identity in Him is secure. When I received Christ, I became a child of God, a partaker of His divine nature, and that He has granted me all things that pertain to life and godliness since He called me to His glory and excellence. I know I have been bought with a price, I am not my own, I belong to God and that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who lives within me. God’s Spirit lives in me, I am His holy place; thus, I take extra care of myself, spiritually, physically, and mentally.

Knowing that I have received the Spirit of God into my life, I know and understand the things freely given to me by Him, because I do have the mind of Christ. So, I don’t live my life in slavery to fear anymore, because the spirit of fear is not from God. I am assured I have a spirit of power, love, and self-control. Furthermore, I am saved, not for my own purpose but His own purpose, for His glory. I know I have been justified, completely forgiven and made righteous by faith.

I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, and that am redeemed through His blood, and forgiven of all my trespasses, therefore, making me a recipient of His lavish grace.
