Who We Are!

 Well to start, I have a twitter. Yes. Now I share that because over time I would tweet these truths about Christians, who we are. So I decided to compile those tweets, and other truths into a little writing.....or whatever you wanna call it....


Dear brothers & sisters
Let's us not forget
Who we are
And Whose we are
For we are people
Of the Cross
We are those
Who were delivered
From the domain of darkness
And transferred into the kingdom
Of the Beloved Son
We are those
Who are sojourners in this world
And are citizens of heaven
Awaiting a kingdom that's to come
We are those
Who are no longer
Children of wrath
But are Children of the Most High
We are those
Who are no longer
Slaves to sin
But are now servants
To our Risen King
We are those
Who love our enemies
Blessing those who revile us
We are those
Who may be shamed by the world
But are unashamed of the Gospel
We are those
Who have our names graven
On our Saviors hands
And written on His heart
We are those
Who walk by faith
And not by sight
We are those
Who have no guilt in life
And fear in death
Seeing that to live
Is Christ
And to die
Is gain
We are those
Who base not only our beliefs
Off of God's Word
But our lives as well
We are those
Who found the Treasure
Hidden in a field
And sold all we had
To buy that field
We are those
Who do not fear
But take heart
Knowing to Whom we belong
We are those
Who have a friend
In the One who saved
Our souls from death
We are those
Who have a child-like dependence
On our Father
We are those
Who are in the world
But are not of it
We are those
Who will overcome
By the blood of the Lamb
And the word
Of our testimony
We are those
Who brag not in ourselves
But in the Lord Jesus
And glory in His cross
We are those
Who run toward the darkness & chaos
With the light of the Gospel
We are those
Who are chasing after Christ
Instead of chasing after
The filth of sin
We are those
Who are gracious, kind, patient, humble, & loving
Towards all people
We are those
Who aren't bitter & resentful
But forgive others
As we have been forgiven in Christ
We are those
Who count all things as loss
In comparison
To knowing Christ
We are those
Who are safe & secure
In the Father's arms
We are those
Who are considered
The scum of the world
But are precious
In the eyes of the Father
We are those
Who have been born again
To a living hope
We are those
Who chase not after
Our own glory
But the glory of our God!
