Who I Am in Christ Quotes

“The most important belief we possess is a true knowledge of who God is.
The second most important belief is who we are as children of God, because we cannot consistently behave in a way that is inconsistent with how we perceive ourselves.”
― Neil T. Anderson, Who I Am in Christ

“God uses parents, pastors and all the people we rub shoulders with to mold us into the person He wants us to be. But we are God’s workmanship: not our parents’, not our pastor’s, not society’s.”
― Neil T. Anderson, Who I Am in Christ

“But when you know who you are in Christ, you no longer need to be threatened by people or compete with them, because you are already secure and loved.”
― Neil T. Anderson, Who I Am in Christ

“Many people today believe their marriage is hopeless. Their solution? Change spouses! If their job is miserable, they change jobs! And if their church has problems, they switch churches! Running away from difficult situations is not where our hope lies. God's plan is that we "hang in there" and grow up. Our hope lies in proven character, not in favorable circumstances. Hope based in favorable circumstances will always disappoint, but when based on the love of God and our proven character, we will never be disappointed.
Even so, we should be aware of false hopes. God never promised that everything would turn out exactly as we would
like. Our hope is not in believing that life should be smooth sailing, and if things are rough right now, they'll be better in the morning. Our hope lies in the fact that God will make us better people and conform us to His image through our difficult circumstances.”

“God does not promise to make a bad thing good, nor has He assured us that He will keep us from bad things. He has promised us that in all things-even those that are terrible-good can come out of it for all those who love Him.”
― Neil T. Anderson, Who I Am In Christ: A Devotional

“DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, I kneel before You, for it is from You that Your whole family in heaven and on earth derived its name. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. Since I am rooted and established in love, I pray that I may have power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is Your love and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, so that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. AMEN”
