Verses of Identity
What does the Bible say about our identity? Here are some verses…

He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself…

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.
