Not only can this physical world dominate our time and energies, but it can also limit how we see ourselves after we are born again and enter into relationship with the living God.
This new relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ changes our position, our condition and who we are before Him. We must see ourselves in that new light. The Bible says the old has gone. We must look through the eyes of faith and align our thinking to the Scriptures.
[2Cor5.17, Heb11.1, Rom6.11]
When feeling weak, we must see ourselves strong in Him. When faced with insurmountable obstacles we must see ourselves as more than conquerors through Christ. When confronted with our own inadequacies with must see ourselves complete in Him. When condemnation may cast it's shadow over us, we can come in repentance knowing we are cleansed and accepted through the blood of Christ, adopted children, made sons of our heavenly Father.
[Phil4.13, 2Cor12.9-10, Rom8.35-37, Col2.10, 1John1.9, Eph1.4-6, Rom8.1, 14-16]
We are seated together in Christ in heavenly places. A place of security, peace and authority over all the works of darkness. We no longer need to be subject to this world's passions and lusts. Seeing ourselves as set free from these things will enable us to walk in that freedom that God has provided.
[Eph2.6, Rom6.11-14, 1John2.15-17]
May our eyes be opened to what God has already made us in Christ. May we believe it, and choose to walk in the experience of those truths through the grace that God supplies.
