will resemble Christ when He
returns
1 John 3:1-2
See what great love the Father has lavished on
us, that we should be called children of God! And

completely forgiven and made
righteous

Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith, we[a]
have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
45. 2.) I died with Christ and died to
the power of sin’s rule over my life
Romans 6:1-6
1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on
sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no
means! We are those who have died to sin;
how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you
know that all of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
46. Romans 6:1-6
4We were therefore buried with him through
baptism into death in order that, just as Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of
the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death
like his, we will certainly also be united with him

into my life that I might know the
things freely given to me by God

price; I am not my own; I
belong to God

know that your bodies are temples of
the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you
have received from God? You are not
your own; you were bought at a price.

anointed and sealed by God in
Christ, and I have been given

stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

believed, you were marked in him with a
seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a
deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until
the redemption of those who are God’s
possession—to the praise of his glory.
54. 9.) Since I have died, I no
longer live for myself, but for
Christ
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
For Christ’s love compels us, because we
are convinced that one died for all, and
therefore all died. 15 And he died for all,
that those who live should no longer live
for themselves but for him who died for
them and was raised again..
55. 10.) I have been made
righteous
2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to
be sin[a] for us, so that in him
we might become the
righteousness of God.

with Christ and it is no
longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me. The life I am
now living is Christ’s life

now live in the body, I live by
faith in the Son of God, who

me.

every spiritual blessing

together with Christ

and seated with Christ in
heaven

boldness, freedom and
confidence

known among the Gentiles the
glorious riches of this mystery,

in Him
Colossians 2:7
rooted and built up in him,
strengthened in the faith as
you were taught, and
overflowing with thankfulness.

circumcised. My old unregenerate
nature has been removed

also circumcised with a circumcision not
performed by human hands. Your whole
self ruled by the flesh[a] was put off
when you were circumcised by[b]
Christ,
71. 25.) I have been made
complete in Christ

and in Christ you have been
brought to fullness. He is the
head over every power and
authority.

and made alive with Christ

having been buried with him in
baptism, in which you were also
raised with him through your faith
in the working of God, who raised
him from the dead.
73. 27.) I died with Christ and I
have been raised up with
Christ. My life is now
hidden with Christ in God.
Christ is now my life
74. Colossians 3:1-4
1Since, then, you have been raised with
Christ, set your hearts on things above,
where Christ is, seated at the right hand
of God. 2 Set your minds on things
above, not on earthly things. 3 For you
died, and your life is now hidden with
Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is
your[a] life, appears, then you also will
appear with him in glory.
75. 28.) I have been given a spirit
of power, love and
self‐discipline
2 Timothy 1:7

apart according to God’s doing

life—not because of anything we have
done but because of his own purpose and

righteous things we had done,
but because of his mercy. He

one with the Sanctifier, He is not
ashamed to call me brother

Bible says I can do all things through Christ

calling, because God has allotted to me
a measure of faith
Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to every
one of you: Do not think of yourself more
highly than you ought, but rather think of
yourself with sober judgment, in
accordance with the measure of faith

strength of my life; I will display strength and
take action
because I know God

fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of
whom shall I be afraid? (NIV)
Daniel 11:32
With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated
the covenant, but the people who know their God will
firmly resist him. (NIV)

my life, because He that is in me (the Holy Spirit)
is greater than he that is in the world (Satan)

You, dear children, are from God and
have overcome them, because the
one who is in you is greater than the
one who is in the world. (NIV)

because God always leads me in
triumph

But thanks be to God, who always
leads us in triumphal procession in
Christ and through us spreads
everywhere the fragrance of the
knowledge of him. (NIV)
89. 8.) I will not lack wisdom, because Christ
became wisdom to me from God, and God
gives wisdom to me
generously when I ask Him

It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who
has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our
righteousness, holiness and redemption. (NIV)
James 1:5

gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will
be given to him. (NIV)
90. 9.) I will not be depressed, because I recall to
mind God’s loving kindness, compassion and
faithfulness and
have hope
Lamentations 3:21-23

hope: Because of the LORD's great love
we are not consumed, for his compassions
never fail. They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. (NIV)

can cast all my anxiety on Christ Who
cares for me

him because he cares for
you. (NIV)

knowing that there is liberty where the
Spirit of the Lord is

us free. Stand firm, then, and do
not let yourselves be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery. (NIV)
93. 12.) I will not feel condemned because
the Bible says I am not condemned
because I am in Christ
Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who
are in Christ Jesus, (NIV)
94. 13.) I will never feel alone because Jesus said
He is with me always and He will never leave
me or forsake
me
Matthew 28:20
and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to
the very end of the age.“ (NIV)
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be
content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.“ (NIV)
95. 14.) I will never feel accursed or that I am the victim
of bad luck because the Bible says that Christ
redeemed me from the curse of the law that I might
receive His Spirit
Galatians 3:13-14
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by
becoming a curse for us, for it is written:
"Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He
redeemed us in order that the blessing given to
Abraham might come to the Gentiles through
Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive
the promise of the Spirit. (NIV)
96. 15.) I will not be discontented because
I, like Paul, can learn to be content in
all my circumstances
Philippians 4:11
I am not saying this because I
am in need, for I have learned
to be content whatever the
circumstances. (NIV)
97. 16.) I will never feel worthless because I know
that Christ became sin on my behalf, that I
might become the
righteousness of God in Him
2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to
be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the
righteousness of God. (NIV)
98. 17.) I will not have a persecution complex,
knowing that nobody can be against me
when God is for me
Romans 8:31
What, then, shall we say in
response to this? If God is for
us, who can be against us?
(NIV)
99. 18.) I will not be confused, because God is the
author of peace and He gives me knowledge
through His
indwelling Spirit
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As
in all the congregations of the saints, (NIV)
1 Corinthians 2:12
We have not received the spirit of the world but
the Spirit who is from God, that we may
understand what God has freely given us. (NIV)
100. 19.) I will not feel like a failure
because I am a conqueror in all things
through Christ
Romans 8:37
No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through
him who loved us. (NIV)
101. 20.) I will not let the pressures of life bother me
because I can take courage knowing that Jesus has
overcome the world and its tribulations
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in
me you may have peace. In this world
you will have trouble. But take heart! I
have overcome the world.“ (NIV)
