His Identity in our Heart

Since our heart speaks of our core identity, we therefore have the same identity as Christ.

We have received a new heart in Christ:

"And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 11: 19)

On our heart are written God's laws:

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

"And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. " (Hebrews 8: 10-12)

The believer has the same identity, kinship, leading, and values in his regenerated heart. We are one with Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our identity in Christ is affirmed early on in the Gospel of John:

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)

Paul emphasizes the same to the Romans:

"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." (Romans 8: 17)

Other verses to ponder about who you are in Christ:

"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" (Philippians 2: 15)

and

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 2: 14)

Scripture could not be clearer. We identity with Christ, we are being transformed into His likeness, and relying on His life, which we receive by grace through faith, we reign in life (Romans 5: 17)

So, in every way we identify with Christ. He does not worry about anything, His needs are supplied, He is neither filled with rage or shame or any other perversion. Every believer is complete in Him (Colossians 2: 10). He sits in complete honor at the right hand of the Father, and in Him so do we (Ephesians 2: 6)

Grow in grace and knowledge of who God has made you to be like His Son, and you will witness His power in and through you to reign in life!
