1 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30) Because of Jesus, we are: His friend I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. (John 15:13-15) His brother Stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. (Matthew 12:49-50) Inseparably Loved by God I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39) Sanctified - Saints To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (1 Corinthians 1:2) Free from Condemnation There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) The Aroma of Christ Thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. (2 Corinthians 2:14) I Have the Mind of Christ We have the mind of Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:16) A New Creature Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) 1

2 Righteous In him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21) Rich You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. (2 Cor. 8:9) Crucified and Alive I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. (Galatians 2:20) Called God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9) Alive, Raised Up, and Seated with Christ God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, (Ephesians 2:5-6) Chosen, Holy, and Beloved Put on then, as God s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, (Colossians 3:12) God s child now Beloved, we are God s children now, (1 John 3:2) Forgiven Your sins are forgiven for his name s sake. (1 John 2:12) Called, Beloved, Kept To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: (Jude 1) Anointed You have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. (1 John 2:20) God s People, Who have Received Mercy Once you were not a people, but now you are God s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (1 Peter 2:10) 2

3 A Chosen Race, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A People for His own Possession But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9) Loved, Freed from our sins, Made a Kingdom and Priests To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:5b-6) Never Alone I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20) I will never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) Understood We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15) Possessor of Eternal Life Anyone who believes in God s Son has eternal life. (John 3:36) I give them eternal life, and they will never perish (John 10:28) Kept in God s Hand No one will snatch them out of my hand. (John 10:28) Clean You are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. (John 15:3) Loved As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. (John 15:9) United with Him in His death and resurrection For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. (Romans 6:5) Saved, Justified, Reconciled, Saved We have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. (Romans 5:9-10) 3

4 A Slave of Righteousness Having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. (Romans 6:18) Saved by mercy When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, (Titus 3:4-5) Prayed for Christ Jesus is the one who died more than that, who was raised who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. (Romans 8:34) Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25) Helped The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me? (Hebrews 13:6) I am created in the image and likeness of God God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27) I am fearfully and wonderfully made You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:1-2??? I am a temple of the Holy Spirit. Do you not know that you are God s temple and that God s Spirit dwells in you?
