Don’t we all wonder who we are in the eyes of God? Well, we have compiled a list of Biblical truths that will leave you feeling empowered and secure in your identity as a child of God. Let’s dive in and discover who God says we are!
- We are created in God’s image
Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” We are created in God’s image, which means we have intrinsic value and worth. We are not accidents or mistakes; we are intentionally created by God to reflect His goodness, love, and beauty in the world.
- We are fearfully and wonderfully made
Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” We are not just created in God’s image; we are also fearfully and wonderfully made. God knitted us together in our mother’s womb and fashioned us with care and love. We are unique, valuable, and extraordinary in His sight.
- We are children of God
John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we become children of God. We are adopted into His family and have the privilege of calling Him our Father. As His children, we have access to His love, guidance, provision, and protection.
- We are forgiven and redeemed
Ephesians 1:7 says, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we are forgiven and redeemed from our sins. We no longer have to live in guilt, shame, or condemnation, but can be free to live for God and His purposes. We are clothed in Christ’s righteousness and empowered by the Holy Spirit to overcome sin and temptation.
- We are chosen and appointed
John 15:16 says, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” God has chosen us and appointed us to bear fruit for His kingdom. We are not just saved to enjoy eternal life, but also to participate in God’s mission to reconcile the world to Himself. We have unique gifts, talents, and opportunities to serve God and make a difference in people’s lives.
- We are more than conquerors
Romans 8:37 says, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” We are not just survivors; we are more than conquerors through Christ. We can overcome any obstacle, challenge, or adversity because we have His power, grace, and love. We have victory over sin, death, and the devil, and can live in freedom and joy because of Jesus’ triumph over them.
- We are a royal priesthood
1 Peter 2:9 says, “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.” We are not just ordinary people; we are a royal priesthood. We have the privilege and responsibility to represent God to the world and to minister to His people. We can pray for others, share the Gospel, serve the needy, and make disciples. We are not alone in this mission; we have the support and encouragement of our fellow believers and the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
These are just a few of the many truths about who we are in God’s eyes. As you meditate on these Scriptures and internalize these truths, may you be strengthened, encouraged, and transformed by God’s love and grace. Let these words be a reminder that you are loved, valued, and significant in His sight, and that you have a unique purpose and destiny to fulfill for His glory. Let these words be a source of joy, hope, and peace in your life, and may they inspire you to live a life worthy of your calling as a child of God. Amen.
