Know Who You Are :)

Sometimes we go through a period of hardships. 
Christ came to set you free. He came to tell you that He loves you so much that He wanted to die for you and free you from bondage.
The enemy can sometimes come in and try to "take" that away from you, but you can hit him back with these truths: by knowing who you are in Christ! Amen.

You are:

-Declared Righteous and not guilty in Christ Jesus

You were made righteous by FAITH.

"It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. If God's promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless." Romans 4:13-14

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant." Hebrews 9:15

"But [Jesus] has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself." Hebrews 9:26b


-Declared permanent access to God's presence through Jesus Christ


You can approach God with anything!


"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16


"Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." -Hebrews 10:19 - 22

-Declared freedom from a guilty conscience 


When shame, guilt, comes your way, hand it over to Christ, He paid for it all and it's His.


"Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." -Hebrews 10:19 - 22


"This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper." Hebrews 9:9

-Declared acceptance by God

"Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Hebrews 10:9-10

"For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 
"This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary." Hebrews 10:14-18


"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight." Ephesians 1:4

"Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault." Colossians 1:22
