It’s important to know who God created you to be. It affects your whole life, the decisions you make and what you choose to believe about who you are. For many years, I struggled with my true identity and with self-confidence, but now, thanks be to God, I know exactly who he created me to be- I am His child, a citizen of heaven. I am accepted by him. I am secure in Him and am significant to Him.

And, so are you.

God looks at different things that the world does or even what we look at. So often we look at the external things that how we look, how much we weigh or how much money we have. Or, perhaps the type of job you have or your status on social media.

Here are 10 of my favorite scriptures that identity what the Bible says about who you are in Christ.
