18 Things The Bible Says I Am in God

The Bible tells us that we are created in God's image. "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27). This means as humans we reflect the character and nature of God. This gives us inherent value and worth.

The Bible also tells us that we are all sinners in need of salvation. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). This means we have all fallen short of God's standard of perfection. We need a Savior!

However, there is Good News! We have an opportunity to become children of God. John 1:12 states, "But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." Through faith in Jesus Christ, we become part of God's family with a new identity as His children.

We also learn from Scripture that we are temples of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." As believers, we have the Holy Spirit living within us. Our bodies are now sacred spaces dedicated to God's purposes.

These are just a few examples of what the Bible says we are in God. There are so many other aspects of our identity and purpose as humans that the Bible speaks to as well.

Let's look at a few of those today.

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death...What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will he not also with Him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn?
