Your new identity in Christ

Your new identity in Christ.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

2 Corinthians 5:17(KJV)

When you got born again and you came into Christ, you got a totally new identity. God no longer sees you based on how sinful you were before, neither does He see you based on the family line from which you were born. Instead, He sees you based on what Christ has made you and what He already accomplished for you, and is doing in you.

Therefore, if you are born again, live with the understanding that old things are passed away. That means every form of generational curse in the old you and from your old origin, is passed away. This is because the old you that had the old nature of sin that was under the authority and influence of satan is passed away. See, now, all things have become new, the Bible says. So, the man in Christ is a new man. A new creation in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, Colossians 3:8-11 say, “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.”

Now you have a new nature, the nature of righteousness. So, live your life with that understanding and produce fruits of righteousness. You can live in righteousness everyday because you have the life of God in you; you have a new heart and a new spirit with new and right desires. Live in line with your new identity in Christ.

Confession.

I have a new identity in Christ. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I have put off the old man with his deeds, and I have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Christ. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and I produce fruits of righteousness every day of my life in Jesus’ Name.
