Who Are We?
Revelations 5:9 “With your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and every language and every people and every nation!” (NIV).
Who are we? This is the question of identity, and it is a question we need to settle. We will spend time over the next few days answering this question.

Fearless
Jeremiah 1:19 “…For I am with you, and I will take care of you…. I’ll back you up every inch of the way. I, the Lord, have spoken!” (NLT&MSG).

Do Not Forget!
Psalm 77:10-12 “And I said, “This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me.” But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.”

Ruminate
Deuteronomy 4:39 “So remember this and keep it firmly in mind: The Lord is God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other.”

Malachi 3:16 “Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honour of his name.”

Psalms 124:8 “For the same God who made everything, our Creator and our mighty maker, he himself is our helper and defender!” (TPT)
