Identity #26… I am part of the body of Christ
If we are all children of God, sealed with His Spirit, and belonging to Him, then this means we are in fact one body in Christ. Satan will often attack either our insecurities or our pride and make us think that we are alone. A sheep alone is much easier prey for a wolf. But God makes it clear that no Christian is meant to be alone and that we are all one in Christ. Jesus demonstrated this by making the outcasts (the fishermen, the tax collectors, the zealots) His own disciples and sinners, lepers, and prostitutes His friends. He showed that no matter our personality, our profile, or our past, that in Christ we are accepted and we are called to fellowship together. As every part of the body works together, the body is much more effective. No body part can be effective by itself. By claiming this identity we are stating that we are not alone as Christians and that we truly are accepted and have been made for a purpose. If we feel alone then we are called to seek out Christian fellowship and find the acceptance God promises. If we see other Christians who are alone, we are called to reach out to them and bring them into the body.
If you would like all the other identities, please e-mail me at jm@comequicklyministries.org and I’ll send them to you.
God bless!
