At
my church, which I hands down LOVE, our Senior Pastor encouraged us as
believers to write out a personal, biblical theology of God. These are the
truths of Christ that we have personally experienced, those that resonate with
us during joy and trial. I want to share mine with you, and encourage you to
write out your own. I have a copy of this in my Bible, hanging up in my cubicle
at the church, and one on my nightstand. For moments when I am overwhelmed,
joyful, etc. I look to these verses to remind me of who I am and who my God
is...
I
will never be taken from the Lord’s hands (John 10: 27-30); (Hebrews 10: 22-23).
I
am fearfully, wonderfully made and known by my Creator

The
Lord is faithful (Lamentations 3:21-26);
(1

The
Lord is greater than my own heart

is not yet finished (Romans 8:28); (Philippians 2:13).

In
Christ, I am given a new identity
(Colossians
3: 12-14) (Ephesians 1; 4:20-24); (Galatians 3:27); (2 Corinthians 5:17).
There
is no room for fear in the presence of Christ (Psalm 27:1); (2 Timothy 1:7).
The
Lord is concerned more for my inward beauty than my outward beauty (1 Samuel
16:7); (1 Peter 3:3-4); (1 Timothy 2:9-10).
Christ
has set me free from the yoke of slavery (Galatians 5:1).
Christ
has adopted me
(Galatians

The
Lord produces salvation through sorrow
(2
Corinthians 7: 8-11).
It
is only by the grace of God that I am who I am today
(1
Corinthians 15:10).
The
Lord is close to the broken hearted and lavishes comfort in abundance
(Psalm
34:18); (Matthew 5) (2 Corinthians 1:3-7).
I
have been spared death and graciously given eternal life by grace and kindness
(Romans
6:23); (Titus 3:4-8).
