The Unsearchable Riches of ChristSample
Knowing Who I Am
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3, ESV).
Being a Christian means accepting the blessings that are ours in Christ and living them out by faith. It is realising—
· what we have
· who we are
in Christ. It is not becoming what we are not; it is becoming who we already are!
Here is a list of many of the blessings listed in the first three chapters of Ephesians. It’s worth making a copy and keeping it as a regular reminder of what the Lord has done.
· I am a saint (1:1)
· Grace and peace are mine (1:2)
