In Christ I Am A New Creature through Him

Updated: Mar 28

Understanding Our True Nature Through Scripture

Conflict Resolution vs Reconciliation - Lesson 1 - Remember Whose You Are - Question 2, p. 13

When pondering the question “Who am I in Christ?”, the answer lies in the transformative power of His sacrifice and love. Through Christ, we are made new, reshaped by His grace, and given a renewed identity. This profound change is beautifully encapsulated in Isaiah 53:5-6, which tells us that “He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds, we are healed.” This passage underscores that through Christ’s suffering, we are granted healing and peace, becoming new creations.


John 3:16 further reveals the depth of this transformation by stating, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Our belief in Christ ensures not just a renewed earthly existence but the promise of eternal life, solidifying our identity as redeemed and beloved children of God.


Moreover, 2 Corinthians 6:16-21 emphasizes our new standing through Christ: "For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.’” This divine indwelling affirms our intimate relationship with God, positioning us as His people, holy and set apart.


Understanding our identity in Christ makes a significant difference in facing conflicts and challenges. It equips us with the assurance that we are not alone; Christ's victory over sin and death empowers us to confront life's difficulties with faith and resilience. Knowing that we are beloved and redeemed provides us with a profound sense of peace and purpose, enabling us to navigate conflicts not with fear but with confidence and hope. Thus, our identity in Christ transforms our perspective, allowing us to face adversities with the strength and grace that come from being a new creature through Him.
