“Who am I?” This is the question that Merrill is answering while at camp in Alaska. It is the theme of the camp. It’s all about teaching kids who they are in Christ.
I got to thinking about this myself. And thinking, and thinking, and thinking. And the conclusion I have come to is….do I really know who I am in Christ? I mean, I know what the Bible says. I know that I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. I know that I am an heir to the throne. I know that my Father is the Creator of everything. I also know that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now resides in me. Glory!
I know all these things, but….
Ah, yes. The infamous “but”. I know all of these things, but do I live like I believe them? As Christians we know what the Bible says about us, but I wonder how many times we live like we are defeated? It seems so easy to let the devil defeat us. When things don’t go our way, or when it seems as though our prayers are unanswered, doesn’t it seem to get easy to forget who we are in Christ? Let this be a challenge to you and me both. Don’t ever forget who you are and what Jesus did for you. To say that we are anything less than that would be calling Him a liar. Praise God I am a daughter of the King!!
