…Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.— Matthew 5:48 (MSG)

The best way to defeat a lie is to know and speak the truth. The next time the enemy lies to you about who you are and accuses. You of being unworthy, declare your identity in Christ. Answer him by saying:

• I am the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21)
• I am forgiven of all my sins (Ephesians 1:7)
• I am born of God, and the evil one does not touch me (1 John 5:18)
• I am a conqueror through Him Who loves me (Romans 8:37)

Those are just a few of the many things that identify you as a child of God. You are not identified by your background, your level of education, your mistakes, or your friends—you are identified by what God has done for you and in you.

Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for loving me and saving me. Thank You that I am Your child and that I will always identify as a child of God, first and foremost! In Jesus’ name, amen.
