Who Do We Say We Are? by Goshen360(m): 1:38am On Dec 29, 2013
New American Standard Bible
Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, "Who do people say that I am?" They told Him, saying, "John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets." And He continued by questioning them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ." Mark 8:27-30


Our identity in Christ is one of the most precious gift the world and devil is confronting in this last days. Just as the identity of Christ was first attacked by the devil - “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread”; so also our identify in Christ is being attacked by the devil today. Many Christians use their identify in Christ to serve the flesh rather than using it to serve the Spirit. The purpose of our identity in Christ is to work out the multi purpose and\or manifold faces of what was deposited in us through Christ.

It is not what people say we are but what we say we are and what we answer to. Our identity is wrapped in the finished works of Christ and hence, we are the finished works of Christ in the manifold wisdom of God. We are the people set apart unto good works because goodness had being deposited in us. We are the light and we shouldn't walk in the dark nor be found in the dark. We are the sons and daughters of God that had been made righteous so that we can live right hence, living out the righteousness we were made into.

We are the called out - How can we who are called out of the world return to the world? We are the washed and the sanctified, how can we who are washed go back and get dirty? We are the blessed people. How can we who are blessed be under a curse at the same time? We're the beloved of God on the face of the earth, God is not mad at us. We're the victorious people, how can we be defeated? We're the product of Christ's finished works and knowing this our identity, we act accordingly in the power of the Spirit. We are what the word says we are and the devil's\world's opinion about our identity don't count.
