New Identity In Christ

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 1:17-21)

Before we were saved, we were ungodly, denying God, following the ways of the world, caused divisions among people, gratifying our fleshly desires, despise authorities and had no desire for spiritual life. The moment we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior trusting His crucifixion, His death, His burial, His resurrection and His ascension to the heavenly place our old identity has been changed into new identity. Now, we are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, special people who are made righteous and holy in Christ by simple faith. We come boldly before the throne of God through Jesus knowing our prayer will bring forth results. As we remain closer to God by praying and reading the word of God enabling us to bear fruits of righteousness and holiness in our day to day life.
