Good News That Actually Is

Part of the Family

There is power in what I believe and say regarding my belief and experience with God in Christ. So I’d like to share my confession with you today.

Through the cross Jesus rescued me from being an enemy to God by allowing me to be identified with Him in His death signifying my old life was dead and gone. My past is no longer able to haunt me or condemn because of Jesus.

Jesus then allowed me to become identified with Him in His resurrection signifying that I had been given new life in Him. Everything became brand new that day that I came to life in Christ.

In giving me new life Jesus declared me righteous with a righteousness that wasn't my own and I did not earn. He gave me the very righteousness of God to forever settle the matter of who I am now and my place in the family of God. God is now my Father and I have a relationship with Him thanks to Jesus.

Because of this I can stand confident of His love, confident of His forgiveness, confident of my acceptance, confident of the Father's love and know that I am a new man with a righteous, everlasting love identity in Him. I am a son now! God is for me so who can be against me!

I am not a foster child or orphan hoping to earn my place in His family. I am loved, accepted, affirmed and empowered by His Spirit living within me. All glory and honor belongs to the Lamb who was slain! All praise to Jesus! He is my Savior and Lord!

If you’ve put your trust n Him this is your testimony as well! So my encouragement to you is to live loved today and always!
