My Identity

These are just a few of the things I've been thinking about lately related to my identity in Christ and who I am.  This is just a start, there's sooooo much more and I'll probably add to the list as I think:)

Because of the sacrifice Christ became, we have the identity of a sin-free person when we accept God's gift of forgiveness, but with grace still extended to us because we aren't perfect. 

Jesus says:

I am loved: John 3:16, Jeremiah 31:3, 1 John 4:10, Romans 5:8
