My Identity in Christ

I don’t think there is anything in Christianity more important than understanding, if you are a believer, who you are in Christ. I found this online today. The blurbs are helpful, but it’s the Scripture itself that has the power. I’ve included links to the Scripture so you can easily read the truth of who you are from the Word itself.
