Get Awakened To Your New Identity

…From now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here (2 Corinthians 5:16-17 NIV).

The day you were born again, you may have looked exactly the same way you did some moments before. However, in reality, a real transformation took place in your spirit. You were actually, literally, totally reborn with God’s life and nature.

Now, you’re God-like! But you and your folks could still be calling yourself human. No, you’re not; not after you’ve been born again! The human “you” died, and a new, divine you came from God.

No wonder, John said, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). You’re of God means you hail from God; your life is divine.

What God expects is that you become awakened and conditioned to your divine nature and new identity. It’s the purpose for the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2).

Apostle Paul called the Christian “a new creature”—a new type of man (2 Corinthians 5:17). Apostle Peter, after he had come to a higher level of understanding of the Gospel, called the Christian a “partaker of the divine nature;” that means “an associate of the God-kind.”

In Psalm 82:6, God declares, “…You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.” If you talk and live as a human being, you’ll suffer the things human beings suffer. Become conscious of and get awakened and conditioned to your divine nature and identity in Christ!
