7 Scriptures With Affirmations To Discover Your Identity In Christ

Carmelita Gauthier

I don’t know how long I was standing there. Was it for 5 seconds or was it for 5 minutes? I don’t remember. Was everyone staring at me? I don’t know. But what I do know is that I had a vision. A vision that I would cherish forever. I call it “Of Sapphires, Rubies and Gold”. This vision invited me on a journey of self-discovery. An invitation that I desperately needed to accept. 

I was a young 20-something living my “best life” with a negative self image. All my perceptions of who I was, were based on how other people perceived me. If people showed interest in me, then I resolved they liked me. If they didn’t, then I concluded it was because I was flawed. Blinded of my worth, I devalued myself in relationships.

 

 Being accepted was more valuable to me than being respected. This led me into toxic relationship after toxic relationship that tarnished my inner self. 

To break these patterns of behavior, I turned to the One who created me, God. I asked God to show me who I was, in him. Because clearly, I didn’t know! And he did. In 7 scriptures God spoke of my beauty, purpose, and identity in Him. With every Word, my soul was esteemed. 

My hope is that as you read these 7 Scriptures with Affirmations , God will begin to show you who you are in Him .

7 Scriptures With Affirmations To Discover Your Identity In Christ 

  1. Ephesians 1:4-6 (NLT)

    "Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son."

    Affirm the truths that these scriptures will reveal about you. In these divine words, God says that you are accepted, you are without

  3. 1 JOHN 4: 9-10 (NLT)

    "God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”

  4. EPHESIANS 2: 1-6 (NLT)

    "Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus."

This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
