-
God loves me. I John 4:10 - This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but
that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
-
My sins are definitely forgiven. Eph. 1:7 - He is so rich in kindness that He
purchased our freedom through the blood of His Son, and our sins are forgiven.
-
I possess His peace and His righteousness. Rom. 5:1 - Therefore, since we have
been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what
Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. I Cor. 1:30 - God alone made it possible
for you to be in Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made Christ to be wisdom
itself. He is the One who made us acceptable to God. He made us pure and holy,
and He gave Himself to purchase our freedom.
-
I am holy and blameless in God's sight. Col. 1:22 - Yet now He has brought you
back as His friends. He has done this through His death on the cross in His own
human body. As a result, He has brought you into the very presence of God, and
you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault. Eph.
1:4 - Long ago, even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in
Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.
-
He considers me clean, whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 - Purify me from my sins,
and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Isaiah 1:18 -
"Come now, let us argue this out," says the Lord. "No matter how deep the stain
of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.
Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool." I
John 1:7 - But if we are living in the light of God's presence, just as Christ
is, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son,
cleanses us from every sin.
-
No one can accuse me. Rom. 8:33,34 - Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen
for His own? Will God? No! He is the One who has given us right standing with
Himself. Who then will condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for He is the One who
died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of
highest honor next to God, pleading for us.
-
God has forgotten my sins, even tomorrow's sins. Heb. 8:12 - "And I will
forgive their wrongdoings, and I will never again remember their sins." Psalm
103:12 - He has removed our rebellious acts as far away from us as the east is
from the west. I John 1:9 - But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful
and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.
-
The record of my sins and their requirements have been torn up and destroyed.
Col. 2:14 - He canceled the record that contained the charges against us. He
took it and destroyed it by nailing it to Christ's cross.
-
I am a complete, whole person. Col. 2:10 - ...and you are complete through your
union with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the
universe. Col. 4:12 - Epaphras, from your city, a servant of Christ Jesus,
sends you his greetings. He always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make
you strong and perfect, fully confident of the whole will of God.
-
I am God's handiwork. He did not make a mistake. Eph. 2:10 - For we are God's
masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good
things He planned for us long ago.
-
God is for me! Rom. 8:31 - What can we say about such wonderful things as
these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
-
God will never give me up or abandon me. Heb. 13:5 - Stay away from the love of
money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail
you. I will never forsake you."
-
God rescues and protects me from all harm. Psalm 91:9,10 - If you make the Lord
your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your dwelling.
-
God has given his angels orders to protect His own. Psalm 91:11 - For He orders
His angels to protect you wherever you go.
-
Nothing and no one is able to separate me from God's love. Romans 8:38,39 - And
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Death can't,
and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today,
our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love
away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all
creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
God will supply all my needs. Phil. 4:19 - And this same God who takes care of
me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given
us in Christ Jesus.
-
I have freedom from the slavery to sin. Rom. 6:22 - But now you are free from
the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that
lead to holiness and result in eternal life.
-
I have eternal life. I John 5:13 - I write this to you who believe in the Son
of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.
-
I am freely given God's grace. Eph. 1:6 - So we praise God for the wonderful
kindness He has poured out on us because we belong to His dearly loved Son.
-
I have been given sufficient faith as a gift from God. Eph. 2:8,9 - God saved
you by His special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this;
it is a gift from God.
-
I have an advocate, a defense attorney before the Father. I John 2:1 - My dear
children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if you do sin,
there is someone to plead for you before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the
One who pleases God completely.
-
I have the very life of God in me. Rom. 8:9-11 - But you are not controlled by
your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of
God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of
Christ living in them are not Christians at all.) Since Christ lives within
you, even though your body will die because of sin, you spirit is alive because
you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the
dead, lives in you. And just as He raised Christ from the dead, He will give
life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you.
-
God will not allow me to be shaken. Psalm 55:22 - Give your burdens to the
Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and
fall.
-
I have strength for every situation. Phil. 4:13 - For I can do everything with
the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.
-
I am a part of God's family. Gal. 4:4,5 - But when the right time came, God
sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent Him to buy freedom
for us who were slaves to the law, so that He could adopt us as His very own
children.
