Now lets get started. Passage Number 1. The first
verse on the subject of Identity in Christ is Ephesians chapter 2, verses 1 through 10. It says:
You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked
according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
who now works in the children of disobedience. We also all once lived among them in the lusts
of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath,
even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even
when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have
been saved— and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ
Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward
us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Passage Number 2. The second verse in our study of Identity in Christ is found in Second Corinthians
chapter 5, verses 14 through 21. It says: For the love of Christ compels us;
because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those
who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ
according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. Therefore if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become
new. But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us
the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself,
not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us:
we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be
sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Passage Number 3. For our third verse, we turn in our Bible to Ephesians chapter 1,
verses 3 through 14. It reads: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without
defect before him in love, having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to
himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, to the praise of the glory of his grace,
by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved. In him we have our redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace which he made to abound
toward us in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the mystery of his will, according
to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times,
to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth,
in him. We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according
to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in
whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is a pledge of
our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Passage Number 4. This is from First Peter chapter 2, verses 9 through 10. The scripture says:
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession,
that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous
light. In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy,
but now have obtained mercy. Passage Number 5.
The fifth verse is from Galatians chapter 3, verses 26 through 29. The Bible says:
For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you
as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither
slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

Passage Number 6 is from First John chapter 3, verses 1 through 3. It says:
See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God!
For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be;
but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Passage Number 7. The seventh verse is found in First Corinthians chapter 6,
verses 19 through 20. The Bible says: Or don’t you know that your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were
bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Passage Number 8. The eighth verse on the subject of Identity in Christ is from Colossians
chapter 3, verses 1 through 4. It reads: If then you were raised together with Christ,
seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, our life, is revealed,
then you will also be revealed with him in glory. Passage Number 9. Our ninth verse is from John
chapter 1, verses 11 through 13. The passage states:
He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. But as many as received him,
to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Passage Number 10. Our tenth and final verse on the subject of Identity in Christ is from
John chapter 15, verses 14 through 16. It says: You are my friends if you do whatever I command
you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does.
But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known
to you. You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit,
and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name,
he may give it to you. This concludes our Bible study on the topic of Identity in Christ.
