God’s View of Believers: God sees believers as new creations, alive in Christ, and righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.
Union with Christ: Believers are united with Christ, and God sees them through that identification, not defined by their past.
Righteousness in Christ: Believers are clothed in Christ’s righteousness, credited to them by faith, not by their own merit.
Righteousness: Based on Christ’s righteousness received through faith, not on personal righteousness from the law.
Adoption: God sees believers as adopted children, loved and accepted through faith in Jesus.
Love and Acceptance: God’s love and acceptance are unconditional and unchanging, given freely through Jesus.
God’s View of Believers: God views believers as adopted, loved unconditionally, and transformed.
Forgiveness in Christ: Believers are forgiven of their sins through confession and Christ’s sacrifice, as evidenced by verses like 1 John 1:9, Colossians 2:13-14, and Hebrews 8:12.
Purity and Transformation: Believers are purified through the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7) and transformed into a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Perfection in Christ: Believers are seen as perfect in God’s eyes through Christ’s sacrifice, though earthly perfection is a goal to strive for.
Holiness: Believers are called a “holy nation,” set apart for God, and chosen by Him to be holy and blameless.
Righteousness: Believers receive righteousness through faith in Christ, who became sin for them, and are justified in God’s sight.
Victory in Christ: Believers have victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ.
Divine Nature: Believers share in God’s character and qualities, but do not become separate gods.
Priestly Role: All believers are part of a “royal priesthood,” having direct access to God through Christ.
Believers’ Role: All believers are called to speak the truth of God, which is a prophetic act.
Prophecy in New Testament: Prophecy in the New Testament often involves speaking God’s word for the edification of the church.
Believers’ Identity: Believers are forgiven, pure, perfect, holy, righteous, and victorious through Jesus Christ.
We are humbled by our imperfections and recognise our human fallibility. We acknowledge our constant need for God's grace and forgiveness. Hope faith and assurance are cultivated through this understanding, which encourages us to grow in our understanding and knowledge of God and His will, and to live out our new life in Christ Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit of God
