Your Identity in Christ

Your Identity in Christ


From the moment we place our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ, we become part of something wondrous—the body of Christ—sealed, secure, and sanctified. Mid-Acts dispensationalism rightly divides the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15) by recognizing the unique message entrusted to Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles (Romans 11:13). This perspective reminds us that our identity is not grounded in law, ceremony, or religious striving—but in the unsearchable riches of grace (Ephesians 3:8).


Who You Are in Christ—Rightly Divided

Through Paul’s epistles (Romans–Philemon), we discover a stunning, Spirit-revealed portrait of the believer:

  • Accepted in the beloved (Ephesians 1:6)

  • Forgiven through His blood (Ephesians 1:7)

  • Sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13

  • Made nigh by His blood (Ephesians 2:13)

  • Complete in Him (Colossians 2:10)

  • A member of His body (1 Corinthians 12:27)

This identity isn’t earned or maintained through works. It is gifted, secured, and empowered by grace alone, apart from the law (Galatians 2:21). You are already blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3).

Daily Application: Living Out Your Identity

The truths of who we are in Christ aren't merely theological—they're transformational. Here are some gentle, grace-centered ways to live these truths:

  • Write identity-based affirmations: Let scriptures guide your journaling. For example, "I am accepted in the beloved—my belonging is not based on my past, but on Christ’s love."

  • Use grace to quiet striving: When tempted to measure yourself against religious standards, remind your heart that your completeness is in Him (Colossians 2:10). Rest in grace.

  • Set grace-focused reminders: Sticky notes with verses on your mirror, watercolor affirmations on your wall, or devotionals in your planner all reinforce God’s truth about you.

  • Pray from your seated position: Ephesians 2:6 says you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Let your prayers reflect that intimacy and spiritual authority.
