You need to know who you are in Christ Jesus to live a successful Christian life. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17   that; “Therefore; if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold; all things have become new” (NKJV). Your behavior will reflect your God given identity when you agree with Him (God) about your identity in Christ. Remember that; its only the opinion of God that counts; therefore; learn to see yourself as God sees you and don’t do things to please your fellow humans. Also; your identity doesn’t depend on what you do or what you have or what you don’t have ; your true identity is who you are in Christ. A summary of Psalm 139 indicates that “even before we were woven together in our mother’s womb; His eyes saw our unformed bodies and our days were written in His book.”. Hence to know your really identity; you have to be in Christ.

If you are Christ Jesus; you are accepted and you become His child. The gospel according to saint John 1:21 says ” Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God”. (NIV). What is more fun in this world than to be called a child of God or what is more important than being His child. When you are in Christ, you become a new creation,  as a result of your acceptance of Christ as your Lord and personal savoir; you are now identified with Him by faith; hence you become His friend. Jesus Christ said in saint John’s gospel 15:15 that; “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you”. (NIV).

When you are in Christ Jesus; you discover that; you not only a child of God but you are also secured; free from condemnation and assured that; God works for your own good in all circumstances. Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans chapter 8:1 says “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”.(NIV) and the verse 28 of this same chapter also says that; “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”.(NKJV).

Before I end ; i will like you to ask yourself this simple question;WHO ARE YOU IN CHRIST? Yes this is a simply questions which as unlimited number of answers. Some may say that they are children of God; others may also say that; they are secured because they are established; anointed sealed or hidden by God. Also while some people may say that they are significant because they are a branch of Jesus Christ; the true vine and a channel of His life; others on the other hand don’t even know about Christ and to talk of who they are in Him. My dear readers I will like you to ponder about who you are in Christ and ask yourself whether the life you are living is acceptable Him.

The bible serves as our textbook for living a successful and victorious life in Christ Jesus……
