I know that not everyone has the time to read the Bible, and if you are a new believer, or curious what being a Christian means, read this list. This is identity in Christ. Lovingly borrowed from (you guessed it) Victory Over the Darkness: realizing the power of your identity in Christ by Neil T. Anderson.
