MY INHERITANCE AND IDENTITY IN CHRIST!

I am the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13)
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty? It is from then on good for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men."

I have access to God’s wisdom (James 1:5)

I am a personal witness of Christ’s (Acts 1:8)
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
I am a branch on Christ’s vine (John 15:5)
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing."
I am Christ’s friend (John 15:15)
"I no longer call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you."
I am chosen by Christ to bear fruit (John 15:5)

I am born of God, and the evil one cannot touch me (1 John 5:18)

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
I cannot be separated from the love of God (Romans 8:35)
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"
I have Christ’s righteousness (Romans 5:19; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
