My Identity In Christ
Several years ago, I was given a book mark with 33 Bible verses written on it. It has remained in my Bible since that time. I often pull it out, reading several verses, so that I can be reminded of "Who I am in Christ." These verses consistently encourage me to keep putting my faith and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, so I thought it was only appropriate to share them with you.
