Who & Whose We Are

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

I am not sure whether believers in Christ truly know who they are and Whose they are. Rarely in my life do I encounter people who are walking in victory. Rarely do I encounter one whose countenance is filled with love, joy, and peace. Rare is the day when I hear encouragement from others. Why?

It Is Written

ROMANS 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

We Have This Treasure

Resurrection power resides in the life of a believer. One need only spend a day watching us to see what we truly believe. Most of us live to serve ourselves, with little concern for others. A follower of Christ should stand out from the world, not to draw attention to oneself but to Christ, the One who dwells within us and whom we follow. 

Prayer

Lord, we bow our hearts and will to You, the One who has already done indescribable, miraculous, unfathomable, immutable, and amazing things for us. You are the God who came in human form and laid down Your life so that the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead would dwell in us, forgiving our faults and failures and redeeming and restoring our hearts from trauma and shame. May we walk in a manner worthy of You and glorify You in all that we do.

Takeaway

Everything we need is in Him! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us!
