Identity by Paola Troz

A clear and genuine identity in Jesus christ will define our attitudes in the midst of a society that desperately needs to understand love, unity and grace.

A healthy identity will become an act of love that helps Jesus shine.

That is our responsability as sons and daughters of a living God:
to undesrtand who we are in Jesus and act in that way.

We are blessed.
Blessed with every spiritual blessing!


“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places”
Ephesians 1:3


Is important that we as christians understand who we are.

It doesn´t matter where you are in the world, cause right now preaching  the word of God is kind of an emergency.
So we all need to be brave and do it using every possible resource and skill God has given us.


He predestined us in love
Giving us His grace freely!

“even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love  he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,  to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:4


We are blessed in the Beloved!

So therefore we must remember
grace is a blessing,
not the permission for people to do whatever they want
 and then come back like nothing happened and  just  because of grace they are forgiven.


We need to honor grace as the perfect gift that has been given to us
which give us identity in Jesus because of God´s mercy.


He adopted us.
He call us his sons and daughters.

He let us share his word, and do amazing things through the power of the Holy Spirit that lives within us.

So let us remember who we are in Christ in a time where society is calling what´s bad good , and what´s good, bad.

In a time where we as Christians are the responsible ones to share love in a real way that honors God and honors his word and his commandments.

In a way that honors that grace that has been given to us, not as a permission to go and sin , but as a perfect spiritual blessing.

A gift for us.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,  which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ  as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.”

Ephesians 1:7


Mistery of His will
Unity in all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

We as the church of God, need to understand the importance of unity.
There is unity that comes only through the Holy Spirit and  through the constant  communion  with Him every single day.

Not just everyday for a while, but every single second of the day.

It´s necessary that we understand and recognize  that  power living in us which is the
Holy Spirit.



As we accept Jesus as our savior and the son of God ,
as our opportunity to be redeemed,
we undertand that there is a powerful  presence in us which is the Holy Spirit
and we need to give the Holy Spirit a sacred place.

Our own lives as sacred temples.

We  must understand who we are not only because we call ourselves christians,
or accepted Jesus as our savior,
there is so much more God wants to reveal to our hearts:

All those spiritual blessings specifically made for us!
It is time to find them out!

We desperately need time alone with Jesus.


We are called for good things to be done on Earth,
we are called to make a difference in a time like this,
we are called to be united in the spirit,
and to help people understand that the love of Jesus christ is the only answer they  can get in a world that is trying so hard to reach answers in the wrong places.

Only the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives can make a real change and a real transformation.

Transformation from the inside.

We need to understand not only those spiritual blessings that have been given to us,
but know exactly how to use them in  times like the ones we are living  right now.

Times where we find so many oppression and so many wrong things being done by so many cold hearted people.

Its our resposability  to fight back with the love of God, the power of His word through our lives as real testimonies of His Glory as we really understand  our identity in Christ by conquering those blessings that have been given to us through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

We can`t sit down and just wait for good things to happen, we are the people who are going to make great things happen as we move forward, fight back and wake up!


We even need to preach  to those who call themselves christians and are kind of like sleeping or feeling  they are like in another world and not really getting the responsability we as the church of Christ  have.

Our identity in Christ needs to wake up!!

“For our struggle is no againts flesh and blood
but against the rulers, against the authorities
against the power of these dark world
and against the spiritual forces of evil in  the heavenly realms.”
Ephesians 6:12


But we know that we have been equiped with heavenly blessings,
and the power that lives in us is the same power that raised Jesus christ from death.


And thats the power that the church needs to learn how to recognize and  use.

No matter which authority in the spiritual realm may come and attack us.
We are sons and daughter of a living God,
so we must stand up and know who we are.

It`s time to move on with a clear identity in your family,
in the church
 in your work, society or nation.

Keep Unity in order to be empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Remember how you are equiped as a Child of God, wearing your full armor
to conquer those places that belong to us as embassadors of heaven on Earth.


Share the love of God with every person around you
and let the Holy Spirit guide as you do it.

Remember your identity as a child of a living GOD and conquer with authority in Jesus name!
