Identity in Christ

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
