Who Are You

If you've ever struggled with "who you are" you will understand this blog. Sometimes it seems that life gets so hectic and so complicated that we lose sight of our real purpose for 'being'. More importantly, we lose sight of who God says we are. In 1 Peter 2:9ff the bible says as a Christian you are a "Chosen Race". That means that God, who knew everything that you were, that you are, and that you will be, CHOSE YOU! That's pretty amazing! Jesus chose 12 Disciples, all of whom failed Him along the way. Jesus obviously wasn't looking for a few 'perfect men', but He was looking for men who would believe and sell out for Him. God chose you, not because of your perfection, but because of your willingness to be His.

We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. God knew that before He ever accepted you as His child. Certainly, with sin must come true repentance and confession. Also, with sin must come consequences in our relationships on earth. But thanks be to God, our sins, all of them, are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. Even when you have messed up, God still has enough grace available to forgive. Remember.... He chose you!
