Welcome to "Who Are You in Christ?"

Hi! This is a blog about how God sees us, about who we are in Christ. My purpose for this blog is to help followers of Christ come into greater understanding and revelation from God, about how He sees us.

I will be posting relevant Scriptures, and questions to ask God. The idea is to journal about this subject. You can write down a question listed, or make up one of your own, and ask God about it; then record in your journal what you sense He is saying to you. (Feel free to "copy and paste" the posts and print them out to use in your journaling. If you are not familiar with how to "copy and paste" here's how: Open a new document, such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word. Go back to the text to be copied and select (highlight) it with your mouse. Hold down "Ctrl" and press "C". Then click your cursor in the new document. Hold down "Ctrl" and press "V". The text will then appear, and you can print it out. You can then use the rest of the page for your journaling about the post.)

My plan is to have one main Scripture per week, about one aspect of how God sees us, and to post daily Scriptures and questions relevant to the topic and main Scripture of that week. For some aspects, there may be more than one week of Scriptures and questions. You may want to memorize the Scripture of the week, or any of the other Scriptures listed.

If you would like to share what God shows you about the various Scriptures and questions, feel free to do so in the comments.

I hope this journaling opportunity will bless you and take you deep into knowing the heart of God.

Note:
The titles of the posts will be going by the weeks of the year, based on Jan. 1, even though I'm starting the blog on Jan. 10. I'm planning to do 366 posts by Dec. 31. (The "Q1W1" labels will refer to Quarter 1 - Week 1, etc., and are for my own reference.)

The Christian life is not about how much we do, but it's relationship - so please let the Holy Spirit lead you in using this opportunity to dialogue with Him. The posts and questions are intended as "jumping off" points, to help you seek God's heart. He may lead you to spend several weeks on one aspect of who we are in Christ, or you might only feel drawn to journal on certain posts as the year goes along. I hope that readers will not be "legalistic" about keeping up with every post. Be free and enjoy discovering who you are in Christ!
