What does it truly mean to say Jesus is mine? The answer lies not in our achievements, talents, or quirks. Instead, it rests in a profound truth—we are part of the family of God, which empowers us as believers to embrace our identity in Him.
Every believer who can say Jesus is mine speaks of ownership, a deep connection, and a source of strength. As believers, we don’t merely exist; we thrive in the shadow of the cross. Our old lives are crucified, and in their place blooms a new creation—a life fueled by faith in the Son of God.
Key Takeaway to Jesus is Mine
- Recognizing that Jesus lives in us gives us the strength and confidence to pursue our God-given purpose and create a life that reflects His glory.
Anchor Bible Verse of the Day
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
– Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
This verse means our past sins and failures are no longer part of our identity. Instead, Christ lives in us, guiding and empowering our every action.
The life we now lead is rooted in faith, motivated by the love, and sacrifice of Jesus, and enabling us to live beyond our limitations, embracing the divine power within us to achieve great things.
Key Explanations
- Crucified with Christ: This means our old, sinful nature has been put to death.
- Christ lives in me: Jesus’ presence and power reside within us.
- Life I now live: Our current life is defined by faith in Jesus.
Reflection on Jesus is Mine
As I already said, Jesus is Mine is a declaration of ownership and a deep sense of belonging.
I want you to imagine having access to the greatest source of power and love in the universe—that’s what it means to say Jesus is Mine.
Think about the challenges you face today. The worries that keep you up at night, the burdens you carry alone. Believing that Jesus is yours should remind you that you don’t have to face them alone.
Beloved, you have a powerful ally in Christ, who offers strength, guidance, and unwavering love.
In John 15:5 we read,
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
Here, we are reminded that apart from Christ, we are limited. But when we connect with Him, we are empowered to do great things.
Living with this knowledge that Jesus is yours means approaching each day with confidence and purpose, and not living anyhow, as you used to.
As we go through our day, we can remind ourselves that we are never alone; Christ is always with us, living within us. This awareness can transform our interactions, responses to difficulties, and whatever we do.
