Bible Verses about who I am in Christ
In the midst of many voices in our head that wage war against our identity we forget who we are in Christ. I need to remind myself daily that my identity does not lie in my mistakes, my struggles, my embarrassing moments, those discouraging negative voices in my head, etc.
Satan is constantly fighting believers to cause us to lose sight of our true identity. God is constantly pouring out His grace and reminding us of we are. He is constantly reminding me to not dwell on my failures, receive His grace, and press on.
When those voices tell you that you are misunderstood by everyone, God reminds you that He understands you. When we feel unloved, we are reminded that God loves us deeply and unconditionally. When we are engulfed in shame, God reminds us that Christ took upon our shame on the cross. You are not defined by who the world says that you are. You are defined by who Christ says that you are. In Him is where your true identity lies.

Glory to God. I am who God says I am. I refuse to be defined by circumstances and the cruel environment. Thanks so much. It’s a short post but it has a lot of meaning. I wish everyone could access this material. May God richly bless you.
I agree with Emily’s comment. THIS is the truth that sets people free into a glorious inheritance, perfect peace, and fullness of joy. Thank you for taking the time to write this post!
Thank you for the verses which reminds me of who God says I am..God bless
This is beautiful. I know how God says Iam. I will meditate upon this day and night.
I have been studying God’s word on Who I am in Christ and got a hold of your website. I’ve been writing all of the confessions down along with the scriptures. Thank you!
A lot of people are talking about the Enneagram these days. Everybody is trying to discover their number- talk talk talk and then yes it helps us to grow in the direction we need -to become a better human being. However, people unfortunately can get stuck – either spending too much time thinking and talking about it- or feeling like a loser because their enneagram number isn’t what they want to be known for. Whatever the case they do all this, while they do not even dare come close to knowing and believing who they are in Christ. This was very empowering to me today.
This is exactly what I was looking for today. In my time with God the past few weeks, God kept bringing me to the passages in the Gospels about the man on the mat who was crippled and Jesus told him to get up, take the mat and go home. I kept asking God what he’s trying to show me with this passage during my times with him. This morning it came to me in an instance. He said to me that how I view myself is crippling. How I view myself is keeping me on the mat. I starting looking online and came across this. This is powerful. Thanks.
Who the Son sets free is free indeed! I am free in Christ! Thank God! I found these Scriptures to be very useful. Hopefully you can do something to elaborate more on the Scriptures for beginners. May God bless the work of your hands. God bless you and thanks again. It’s really cool to type what you need and it’s right at your fingertip. Praise be to God!
This is awesome! We have been made the righteousness of God, through Jesus Christ. This is a blessing!
Awesome scriptures, also deeply encouraged by the above comments, God is Good and He remains good, thank you for blessing me with these. God bless
Yesoo, I am who God says I am. Thank you Jesus.
I thank God I came across this, I felt so useless of myself, I felt tired of people making me feel less of who I am, I started searching and I discovered this article. Thank you so much for putting this here. As I was reading and writing, I was personalizing it.
Praise God for who He says that I Am. I Am a Child of God. I Am Fearful and Wonderful made. Am above Only. I Am Loved!! Thank you Abbe Father, thank you, you are are the Christ the Son of the Living God, who pulled me out of darkness into your Marvelous Light. Thank you that I Am the Apple of your Eye. Thank you Lord for knowing me, Even in the womb. Thank you God for the plans you think towards me, a plan of Good and Not evil. God Bless
Wow Brandy, worded so Perfectly! You are Truly a person of The Holy God and one with Christ!
Bri
This is wonderful! I thank you for this beautiful work! Wow I’m in awe. Blessings. And again thank you.
I am alive in Christ.
Thank you Jesus for choosing me even while I was a sinner you died for me, so that I will have life and have it more abundantly. Father give me your grace always to love you more. Because all things workth together for good to them that love you. Amen and Amen
My brother doesn’t want me at his wife’s memorial because I said and did wrong things. Struggling to see past my pain But Jesus calls me his child and I have to remember this.
Hi Mary,I’m sorry to hear about your pain. If you haven’t done so, I suggest that you ask God to forgive you of what you have said and done, then ask forgiveness from your brother. It’s also important to forgive yourself and move on. Nobody is perfect and if we are not careful we do and say things that we regret after.
Also, a lesson to learn is: Prov. 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death. The stakes are high. Our words can either speak life or death, can build others up or tear them down. I think it would be nice for you to send a thoughtful card to your brother, tell him how much you love him and that you’re always be there for him. I commit you and your brother in prayer. God is faithful. Take care.
I am blessed learning and being reminded who I am in Christ. Knowing my true identity in Christ is refreshing and encouraging. I have copied all the scriptures and I am studying them and meditating.
Thank you for putting together these scriptures.
I owe to Jesus Christ for His completed wok at the cross and His resurrection settled my faith in God
I have been greatly encouraged by the scripture above. I have prayed through them and God has set me free. May God richly bless you for putting these verses together.
Thank you for these verses.
We are no longer slaves.
We are blessed.
We share in His suffering and share in His glory.
We are a special possession of God, a treasured possession of God, His prized possession.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, that is our focus, and the sin will then be dealt with. Focusing on Him gets us there.
Praise the Lord, these 50 important verses are very loveliest words which make the people of God confident within their heart and mind, that who are they in christ. Amen.
I know who I am today, I know the kind of family I belongs to, and I know who is my father through Jesus Christ.Amen.
I just discovered this site. This information is priceless. Thank you for this list. Much appreciated.
Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. Thanks for the Messiah, bless you!
I am so happy and encouraged with my identity in Christ. God richly bless you for this.
I am the righteousness of God in Christ, seated far above principalities and powers, thanks for sharing
“I’m deeply loved by God.”
