Whose Am I

The title may seem a bit odd or weird, but whom we belong to matters.  I am not talking about individual’s parents, stepparents, adopted parents, or foster parents; I’m talking about the character of good or evil—the essence of principled values vs. unprincipled deficiencies that a person looks up to and heeds.

Ask yourself, “Whose am I?”  Are your needs met with blessings, or are you struggling, unsure and hesitant?  What entity are you spending most of your time with?  What spirit is directing your life?  Who do you think gives hope and comfort in times of need—Satan or God?  I ask these questions because I know you matter to God.  He loves you profoundly!

With whom have you decided to follow?  Whose are you anyway?  Jesus paid the price for sin when He died on a cross for humanity, whereas Satan is seeking those that he can devour and destroy their lives.  Do you think he would give his life for you or me?  If the answer is no, then why would a person give their life on earth and the hereafter for him?

Not only does a person’s physical makeup suffer on earth when serving the wrong master, the spiritual man will be totally dismayed and separated from God one day in everlasting darkness. 

Jesus offers eternal life in heaven where the light of the Lord shines forever, because He sincerely loves us and shed His blood on the cross for our transgressions.  He died to unite sinful mankind with a holy God.  What greater love is there than this?

Yes, it is certainly a great question to ask one’s self, “Whose am I?”  I want to belong to God Almighty and be able to call Him, Abba Father, which means, Daddy God.  When we accept His Son, Jesus, into our heart, we become sons and daughters of Father God.  We now belong to Him and are members of the family of God.

When you know Jesus as Lord, you can say with confidence that you belong to our Father in heaven.  (Whose am I) is answered with, “I know in Whom I believe!”  Jesus’s blood covers and protects us from our adversary the devil.  The evil one is the dearth that God fends off because we belong to Him.  We have hope in Jesus.  He removes the doubt of whose we are because His love indwells us.

(1 Corinthians 6:20) “For you were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
