Who I Am

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
