Who Does God Say I Am?

Now that you’ve identified some habits that have impacted the way you think about yourself, take some time to reflect upon the following verses. There are key words in each verse. God tells you a role that He has given you. Begin exploring what it means to function in that role as a child of God.

Notice the words that define who God says you are in each verse below.

I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5 NLT)

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. (John 15:15 ESV)

And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Rom. 8:17 ESV)

You are a branch, a friend, and an heir. Consider which of the passages gripped your heart most and examine why. God may be speaking to You.

If we want to experience a God-honoring identity reset, we must stay connected to God and His view of us. We do this by immersing ourselves in God’s Word. I challenge you to memorize one of the verses above so that you’ll have God’s Word hidden in your heart. Then, when you’re tempted to view yourself negatively, the Holy Spirit may remind you of The Word.

God, open my eyes so I can see myself the way You see me. Thank You for the reminder that I am a branch and can do nothing on my own. I need this reminder. I look to You. I submit to You. I work to re-align myself with my role as a child of God.

Amen.
