My identity in Christ

S :

Matthew 4:1-3 NASB
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

These verses describes the temptation of Jesus by the devil.

A :

In our everyday life we are being tempted by the devil.
Includes greed, jealousy, fame, Unforgiveness, rejected, sexual lust and sins etc . . .
This is what the devil uses to tempt us so that he can pull us away from God.
The devil will always ask you to proof how worthy you are, how successful you are.
And always always tempt you.

The devil will always tell you these lies :
                   Who am I ?
1) I am what I do
2) I am what people says about me
3) I am what I have
And this is what the world now believes.

But on the other hand,  God is different.
God doesn't care how successful, how famous, how rich or how poor, how weak you are.
God loves the way you are.
We are unique and precious in God's eye.
God is love.
God is truth.
God loves us so much that He died for us.
God's amazing grace --- even when we sin against Him, He still forgive us and love us.
God created us with a heart that only God's love can satisfy.

So who am I exactly ?
It is very important that we must know who we are !
We are beloved son and beloved daughter of God.
We are child of God.
We do not need to proof to anyone.
Every moment I have to tell myself that I am beloved son of God.

I am the beloved son of God.
This is who I am, so that I can live in a world that keep rejecting me or praising me or laughing at me or spitting on me.
All these things doesn't matter, because I know that Jesus love me so much, that I am the beloved son of God.

When temptation to become bitter, to become jealous,  to feel rejected kicks in.
I will say out loud in my heart and say
" Go away Satan ! I am the beloved son of God ! I rebuke you in the name of Jesus! "

P :

Thank You Father for this amazing love You gave to us.
I know that You will always be at my side because I am Yours and You are mine.
Thank You Jesus for sacrificing Your life for me at the cross.
I will always keep that in my heart :
I am the beloved son of God.
In the name of Jesus,
AMEN!
