Who AM I?
Introduction
This is a revision of the one I wrote back in 2012. I hope to keep revising it over the years, adding new passages, and making it more and more personal.
Who Am I?
I am created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26).
He knitted me together in my mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-17).
He calls me by name, and I am His (Isaiah 43:1-2).
I am His treasured possession (Deuteronomy 7:6).
I am the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8).
I am His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).
He rejoices over me with gladness,
He quiets me with His love,
He sings over me with loud singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
He knows me intimately, knowing my struggles and weaknesses, and remembers that I'm but dust. (Psalm 103:13-14).
His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
His love was demonstrated in that while I was still a sinner Jesus died for me (Romans 5:8-10).
He chose me (John 15:16) and bought me for a price (1 Corinthians 6:20).
The price was His blood; through it, I have redemption (Ephesians 1:7-8).
I have been forgiveness of my sins (1 John 1:9).
I am a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me (Galatians 2:20).
There is now no condemnation for me (Romans 8:1).
I am free from the bondage of sin (Romans 6:18).
I am His ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20).
I am His witness (Acts 1:8).
I am a part of Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 12:27).
I am God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16).
I am a child of God (1 John 3:1).
Jesus calls me a friend (John 15:15).
I am His sheep (John 10:27-28). He is my Shepherd (Psalm 23; John 10).
I am a part of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession (1 Peter 2:9).
If God is for me, who can be against me? (Romans 8:31).
The good work He began in me, He will bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6).
He will never forget me; I am engraved on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:15-16).
He will never leave me or forsake me (Hebrews 13:5; Deuteronomy 31:6).
He cares about my anxieties and fears telling me to cast them on Him (1 Peter 5:7).
As His holy and beloved, I will be what He has been for me: compassionate, kind, humble, meek, patient, and comforting (Colossians 3:12; 2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
Though this body may die, I know I have eternal life (John 3:16).
I know this earth is not my home; I am only a passer-through (1 Peter 2:11).
I am a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20).
I Am Beloved.
