In A Field

So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life . God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go! Romans 8:12-14 The Message I Am...

I am... Indwelled by a fearless Spirit. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

I am... Hid in Christ in heavenly realms.  Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand.  Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.  For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.  And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.  Colossians 3:1-4

I am... A co-worker with God. For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. 1 Corinthians 3:9

I am... One who knows Satan is a disarmed laughing stock. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.  In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Colossians 2:14-15

I am... A citizen of heaven. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. Philippians 3:20

I am... Made perfect forever. For by that one offering her forever made perfect those who are being made holy. Hebrews 10:14 I am... Made complete in Christ. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. Colossians 2:10

I am... Seated with Christ in heavenly realms. For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6

Christ's joy is fulfilled. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.  Yes, your joy will overflow! John 15:11

I am... A recipient of God's own peace and joy. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. John 14:17 I am leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.  So don't be troubled or afraid. John 14:27

I am... A member of Christ's body. All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27

I am... A branch chosen to bear fruit . You didn't choose me.  I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. John 15:16   I am... Predestined to look like Jesus and see him in his glory. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Romans 8:29 See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know him. Dear friends we are already God's children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he ...

I am... The salt of the earth. You are the salt of the earth. Matthew 5:13

I am... One for whom Jesus gladly suffered. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who iniates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame.  Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.  Hebrews 12:2

I am... Crucified, buried and raised with Christ. Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?  Of course not!  Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?  Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?  For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism.  And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.  Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was.  We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives.  We are no longer slaves to sin.  For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.  And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him.  We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the d...

Twenty-Three I am... Blessed with every spiritual blessing. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Ephesians 1:3 . Twenty-Two I am... The recipient of an eternal, infinetly rich, inheritance. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
