I was reading the Bible today, soaking in the sunshine and the Word of God with a specific goal. I am putting on a retreat for the ladies of our church and the idea for decorations included putting up leaves with different aspects of our identity "in Christ." Here is what I got just from what he told his disciples in John 15:1-17:
In Christ...
•I am a branch in Him
•I am clean because of His Word
•I abide in Him and He in me
•I bear much fruit (apart from Him I can do nothing)
•His Word abides in me
•I abide in Him and His words in me. Then I ask whatever I wish and it will be done for me
•I bear much fruit and prove to be His disciples
•I keep His commandments and abide in His love
•His joy is in me
•My joy is full
•I am His friend
•I am chosen
•I am appointed to go and bear abiding fruit
•I love others
What a list--just from 17 verses! Praise God for Jesus Christ and that I am an "in Christ" person because of Jesus dying in my place and placing me...in Him.
