Still, with the darkness of the night, it would still be hard to identify people’s faces as they entered the prison walls.
So, we must show our ID’s in order for them to recognize us at a glance. I always had my ID badge clipped to my scrub uniform, always in plain sight.
One time, I remember that I had a co-worker who, despite wearing a scrubs outfit, needed to summon someone from the Clinic to identify him and made sure that he was one of the medical staff, before he could be let in. He was upset but there was no reason for him to do so. “A rule is a rule” that everyone needed to comply to.
How awesome it is that we also have ID’s in Christ! That when we invite Him into our hearts, we become new creations. [2 Corinthians 5:17]. I am feeling ecstatic reading some of them today:
[Life Application Bible]:
“We are justified.” - Romans 3:24
“No condemnation awaits us.” - Romans 8:1
“We are set free from the law of sin and death.” - Romans 8:2
“We are sanctified [made holy] in Jesus Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 1:2
“We are pure and holy in Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 1:30
“We will be made alive at the resurrection.” - 1 Corinthians 15:22
“We are made right with God.” - 2 Corinthians 5:21
“We are one in Christ with all other believers.” - Galatians 3:28
“We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” - Ephesians 1:3
“We are holy and without fault.” - Ephesians 1:4
“We are adopted as God’s children.” - Ephesians 1:5,6
“We are marked as belonging to God by the Holy Spirit.” - Ephesians 1:13
“We have been raised up to sit with Christ in the heavenly realms.” - Ephesians 2:6
“We share in the promise through Christ.” - Ephesians 3:6
“We can come with freedom and confidence into God’s presence.” - Ephesians 3:12
“We are set free from our sinful nature.” - Colossians 2:11
“We will have eternal glory.” - 2 Timothy 2:10
Those are only a few….There are many more....Thanks be to Jesus.
