Welcome to Enrich Your Journey

On the first leg of our journey we will look at who we believe we are; what perceptions we have; what beliefs we have about ourselves. Many of our core beliefs were formed when we were children, and as we grew into adulthood, we formed new beliefs and updated old ones. Some of our beliefs are healthy ones and some may be non-rational ones. I believe though that we cannot fully comprehend who we are until we know who God says we are.

Study these scriptures:

  1. I am a child of God. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12).

  2. I am a friend of Jesus. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me (John 15:15).

  3. My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who dwells in me. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, (1 Corinthians 6:19)?

  4. I am a new creature in Christ. This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun (2 Corinthians 5:17)!

  5. I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

  6. I am chosen, holy, and blameless before God. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes (Ephesians 1:4).
