| We are gifted. | Romans 5:16 | Again, the gift is not like the result of the one mans sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification. |

| We have a sound mind. | 2 Timothy 1:7 | For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. |
| We are ordained. | Jeremiah 1:5 | Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; |
| Our steps are ordered. | Proverbs 20:24 | The LORD directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? |
| We are peculiar. | 1 Peter 2:9 | But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special peculiar people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; |

| We are purified. | 1 Peter 1:22 | Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren. |
| We are raised with Christ in resurrected life. | 1Corinthians 15:42-44 | So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. |
| We are redeemed. | Ephesians 1:7 | In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. |

| We are the salt of the earth. | Mathew 5:13 | You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. |
| We are sanctified. | Hebrews 10:10 | By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. |
| We are saved. | Ephesians 2:8-9 | For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. |
| We are sealed. | Ephesians 1:13-14 | In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, |
| We are seated with Him in heavenly places. | Ephesians 2:6 | And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. |
| We are servants. | 1Corinthians 4:1 | So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries. |
| We share His authority. | Luke 10:19 | Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. |
| We are the sheep of His pasture. | Psalm 100.3 | Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. |

| We are the friends of God. | John 15:15 | No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. |
| We have the fullness of the Godhead living in us. | Colossians 2:9-10 | For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. |
| We are the righteousness of God in Christ. | 2 Corinthians 5:21 | For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. |
| We are the temp[le of God. | 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 | Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. |
| We are transformed. | Romans 12:2 | And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. |
| We are vessels of glory and honor. | 2 Timothy 2:20-21 | But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. |
| We are walking by faith. | Corinthians 5:7 | For we walk by faith, not by sight. |
| We are walking in newness of life. | Romans 6:4 | Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. |
| We are warriors. | Psalm 144:1 | Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle. |
| We are the wise. | Proverbs 10:19 | In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. |
| We are witnesses. | Acts 5:32 | And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him. |
| And we are absolutely worthy of who God is! | 2 Corinthians 5:21 | For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. |
