Let’s finish off this week by looking at the second part of New Name Written Down in Glory:

“Sin had left me blind, but Jesus opened my eyes. Now I see the light.

I’m so glad He changed me. Now I’m walking free, I’ve got the victory

See it’s all over me. I’m so glad He changed me

See, I’m now a new creation in Christ. The old has gone, there’s new life. I live by faith, not by sight

There is a new name written down in glory, and it’s mine, yes, it’s mine. I’ve met the Author of my story, and He’s mine, yes, He’s mine

Yeah, sing it, I am who I am because the I AM tells me who I am

I am who I am because the I AM tells me

Whoa, I am who I am because the I AM tells me who I am

I am who I am because the I AM tells me who I am”

Do you know who God says you are? If you have decided to believe that Jesus is who he says he is, have accepted him as your Lord and Savior, live a life of repentance that leads to restoration, and are following him, YOU are a new creation! Your identity is who GOD says you are. Let’s look at that identity:

Child of God – John 1:12

Friend of Jesus – John 15:15

Justified and redeemed – Romans 3:24

Free from the law of sin and death – Romans 8:2

Heir with Christ – Romans 8:17

Enlightened – 2 Corinthians 3:14

New creature – 2 Corinthians 5:17

No longer a slave, but a child and an heir – Galatians 4:7

Chosen, holy, and blameless before God – Ephesians 1:4

Redeemed and forgiven – Ephesians 1:7

Complete in Christ – Colossians 2:10

Holy Priesthood with purpose – 2 Peter 2:9

And the list can go on and on…May this year be a year filled with new identity. Any time you have doubt,  negative thinking or hear the whispers of those around you, grab the truth found in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].” (amplified version).
