Begin Your Day with Your Identity in Christ
Start your day by speaking these truths out loud:
“I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Sin shall have no dominion over me. By His stripes I was healed. Through His blood, I am redeemed and forgiven. I belong to God, and I can come boldly into His presence.”
These declarations point us to what Jesus has accomplished—not something we must earn. Our standing before God rests on Christ’s finished work, not on how worthy we feel when we wake up.
E. W. Kenyon emphasized the importance of moving from sin consciousness to righteousness consciousness: learning to see ourselves in light of who we are in Christ, instead of continually defining ourselves by our failures.
He also distinguished sense knowledge—what we learn through our physical senses—from revelation knowledge, which comes through God’s Word. Feelings and circumstances can be real and difficult, but they do not have the final authority over our identity in Christ.
The new covenant is sealed with Jesus’ blood. Our forgiveness rests on His sacrifice, and our confidence rests on God’s faithfulness. Speaking these truths helps us remember and act on what He has already done.
Some of us have learned to approach God as though we must earn a place at His table. But in Christ, we are welcomed into His family by grace. We obey Him from that place of belonging.
When we stumble, we can confess our sins and return to Him with confidence. Repentance restores fellowship; shame does not have to become our identity.
Begin today remembering whose you are, what Christ has done, and the grace in which you stand.
