The following excerpt is
from
Conformed To His Image
: Biblical and Practical
Approaches to Spiritual Formation by Kenneth Boa.
The following biblical affirmations about our
identity in Jesus Christ are derived from a few selected
passages in the New Testament. These passages teach a
portion of the many truths about who we have become through
faith in God's Son.
Review this powerful inventory
frequently, since it reminds us of truths we quickly forget
amid the worries and cares of this world. The more we
embrace these affirmations from Scripture, the more stable,
grateful, and fully assured we will be in the course of our
lives.
