Who We Are In Christ


I was talking to someone the other day that said that they were a Christian, but didn’t understand what that truly meant. They said, I’ve been a Christian for a long time but who am I in Christ?

When we know who we are, we’ll know what to do.

Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

In Christ we are a new creation, and we have a new purposes. It also says in
2 Corinthians 5:20, We are therefore Christ's Ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal
 through us.

So, we are a new creation, and an ambassador for Christ. An Ambassador, is the highest ranking diplomat sent as a representative from one country to another. As a Christian, we have been sent by God, as His Ambassador to this earth. We represent the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. When we know who we are, then we'll know what to do.

You are somebody in Christ!
