Who Does God Say I Am?

Today, I want to remind you of something powerful—something that will change the way you see yourself and your life. Too often, we, though forgiven, allow the world to define us. We let past mistakes, insecurities, and other people’s opinions shape our identity. But let me ask you—who does God say you are? That’s what truly matters!

You Are a Child of God!

God calls you His child! “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1)

You are not forgotten, overlooked, or abandoned. You are His beloved child! That means you belong, you are valued, and you are deeply loved by your heavenly Father.

You Are Chosen and Accepted

Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.” (John 15:16)

You are not here by accident. God chose you. He called you by name. You are accepted, not because of what you’ve done, but because of His incredible grace!

You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Psalm 139:14 tells us, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Look at yourself the way God sees you. You are His masterpiece! Every detail about you was crafted with purpose. No more comparing yourself to others—celebrate who God made you to be!

You Are Redeemed and Forgiven

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

You don’t have to carry guilt or shame anymore. Jesus paid the price for your sins, and you are completely forgiven. Walk in that freedom!

You Are More Than a Conqueror

Romans 8:37 says, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

You are not defeated. You are not weak. Through Christ, you are victorious! Whatever battle you’re facing, you are not alone—God is with you, and He has already won the victory.

You Are the Light of the World

Jesus Himself said, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14)

You were created to shine! Your life has meaning and purpose. Everywhere you go, you bring the light of Christ. Don’t hide it—let it shine!

You Are a New Creation

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Your past does not define you. You are not who you used to be—God has made you new. Walk in that new identity with confidence and joy!

You Are Loved Beyond Measure

“Nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:39)

God’s love for you is unshakable, unstoppable, and unbreakable! No matter what you’ve done or what you’re facing, His love never changes.

Walk in Confidence

So today, I challenge you—stand tall. Lift your head. Walk in confidence. Speak these truths over your life every day. When the enemy tries to lie to you, remind yourself:

❖ I am a child of God.
❖ I am chosen and accepted.
❖ I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
❖ I am redeemed and forgiven.
❖ I am more than a conqueror.
❖ I am the light of the world.
❖ I am a new creation.
❖ I am loved beyond measure.

That’s who you are! Not because I say so, but because God says so! Now go and live in the freedom, power, and joy of your true identity in Christ!
