Mistaken identity

Who are we in Christ? Do we really know who we are in Christ?

If only we truly know in our hearts who we really are in Christ, we will reign in life. We will be talking things befitting of our heavenly royalty. We will be doing things deserving of kings and priests. We will be behaving like a king priest.

Knowing we are king priests, what we say shall come to pass, if we do not doubt it. Whatever good that we proclaim in our lives shall come to pass for there is authority in the speech of king priest.

How do we know who we are in Christ? The answer: look to the cross. Jesus was crucified at the cross on our behalf so that we can take His place at the right hand of God. He was rich yet was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty shall be made rich. His body took all our diseases and infirmities at the cross that through His broken body, we are made whole. His blood was shed for our sins at the cross so we can be made righteous before God.

Make no mistake regarding our true identity. We are kings, and we are priest. Live lives worthy of our royal priesthood.
