Knowing Who You Are in Christ
Dr RJ Sing
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
It’s vital to know who you are in Christ. Whatever Jesus had done for you and for me, it’s not just an historical account, it is more that. It is a vital plan of God and the vital life of God that first was wrath in Christ Jesus, legally what He had done for us and vitally what it means to us in this life.
Whatever Jesus did for us is not a religious story, it’s more than that. It was God’s plan for man from the beginning of the ages, since Adam had fallen, God in Genesis 3:15, had prophetically made a declaration to the devil that he will be destroyed by the seed of a woman. It was God’s divine plan to save mankind.
You are the righteousness of God. You are in right standing with God. Christ was your sacrificial lamb, He died so you could have eternal life. He took your sin and sickness on the cross, voluntarily and willing gave His life for you. You are alive with Christ, free from sin and death. You are God’s workmanship, created in Christ unto good works.
