38. 5 Bible Verses for Knowing Who You Are in Christ

Have you ever read the Bible and walked away feeling condemned instead of free? In this episode, we talk about why knowing your identity in Christ changes everything—and why so many believers still feel stuck even though they know the truth. Josh and Corina share parts of their own journey from shame, striving, and legalism into grace, freedom, and transformation. Then they walk through what Scripture actually says about who you are in Jesus. In this episode, we cover: Why condemnation keeps so many Christians stuck How shame, striving, and legalism distort your identity Why you can’t consistently live out what you don’t believe you are The difference between your old sin nature and your new identity in Christ How to move truth from your head into your heart A simple process to identify lies, replace them with truth, and write declarations Biblical identity truths in this episode: You are forgiven — 1 John 1:9 You are a new creation — 2 Corinthians 5:17 You are the righteousness of God — 2 Corinthians 5:21 You are seated with Christ — Ephesians 2:6 You are a king and priest — Revelation 1:5-6 Practical steps to live this out: Ask God which identity verse is for you right now Memorize it and keep it in front of you Ask God what lie you’re believing that fights this truth Ask Him to reveal the truth personally Write a declaration based on Scripture + what God spoke to you Speak that truth over yourself daily until your beliefs begin to change Encouragement You do not have to stay stuck in shame, striving, or old labels. Jesus didn’t just forgive you—He gave you a brand new identity. Freedom starts when you begin to believe what God says is true about you.
