25 Things the Bible Says About You

Small pink roses lay on top of an open Bible. Text overlay reads: 25 things Scripture says about you | Land of Honey


This post takes a look at what the Bible says about you, so that we can be rooted in our identity in the Messiah and his work in us. This list is not conclusive, but is an excellent reminder to focus on what God says instead of what the people around us say or even our own thoughts. Sometimes we need to stop and remind ourselves, My identity does not depend on this test or that diagnosis. I am worth more than my salary or what that person said. As believers in Messiah we are called to know our identities in him!

Did you know in Scriptures there are many things that the Living God says about you. Psalm 139:17-18 says that YHWH's thoughts of us are more numerous than the sand. Here are just a few of the thoughts God has about you.

The Living God describes you as:

-His (Isaiah 43:1)

-Called by the name of Israel (Isaiah 43:1)

-a renewed creation in the Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:17)

-set apart (Ephesians 1:4)

-loved with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3)

-a priest (1 Peter 2:9)

-made clean from the filthiness of idolatry (Ezekiel 36:25)

-called, justified, and esteemed (Romans 8:30)

-precious in his sight (Isaiah 43:4)

-inscribed with God's word on your heart (Jeremiah 31:33)

-not forsaken when seeking YHWH (Psalm 9:10)

-given strength (Psalm 29:11)

-blessed with peace (Psalm 29:11)

-healed from disease (Psalm 103:3)

-satisfied with good things (Psalm 103:5)

-traded joy for morning (Isaiah 61:3)

-given the Spirit of power, love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

-able to have a joyful heart even in the worst circumstances or most extreme poverty (2 Corinthians 8:2)

-a restorer of the paths to live in (Isaiah 58:12)

-set apart by the learning of the Word (John 17:17)

-ransomed from death (Psalm 103:4)

-healed of backsliding into idolatry and faithlessness (Hosea 14:4)

-not judged by appearance (Isaiah 11:3)

-pruned for great fruitfulness (John 15:3)

-called to walk in the same ways as the Messiah (1 John 2:6)

Learn these things! This is what the Living God says about you. Speak and pray these things over yourself. Saying things like, "Thank you that I am given peace. Help me to experience that," or "Teach me what it means to restore the paths to live in," are great ways to sink these truths into your being. Learn what YHWH says about you so you know who you are.
