1 Peter 1:1-25
Suggested usage:
- Allow the anointing of the author’s revelation to saturate your soul as read these truths about your identity in Christ.
- Read each truth into a personal identity statement because each truth is about who you are in Christ.
- Identify which truths affect you more when you read it.
- Write one of the truths that penetrate your heart the most on your bathroom mirror so you can see it everyday and declare it about yourself using both “you” and “I” statements.
