My identity
Updated: Feb 22, 2021
My identity in God is:
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath 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 should be holy and without blemish before him in love: having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: in whom 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," Ephesians1:3-8
My identity in God is:
His love
His creation
His princess
His daughter
His child
His beauty
His art
His masterpiece
His instrument
His song
What does the Cate-
chism of the Catholic Church say?
CCC356 Of all visible creatures only man is "able to know and love his creator." He is "the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake," and he alone is called to share, by Themes in the Catechism of the Catholic Church 4 knowledge and love, in God's own life. It was for this end that he was created, and this is the fundamental reason for his dignity… …CCC 357 Being in the image of God the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone. He is capable of self-knowledge, of self-possession and of freely giving himself and entering into communion with other persons. And he is called by grace to a covenant with his Creator, to offer him a response of faith and love that no other creature can give in his stead. 358 God created everything for man,222 but man in turn was created to serve and love God and to offer all creation back to him…
Ponder on this.....We were made exclusively for God, we are His beloved!!!
