In Christ I am: HIS<\/u><\/em>
\nBut now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, <\/em>
\nAnd He who formed you, O Israel:<\/em>
\n\u201cFear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name;<\/em>
\nYou are Mine.<\/em>
\nIsaiah 43:1 NKJV<\/p>\n

Believers, we learned yesterday that in Christ we are the seed of Abraham, and since Jacob (later renamed Israel by God) was the seed of Abraham ( he was Abraham\u2019s grandson)
\nthen in this verse we could insert our names also.\u00a0 The LORD created us, formed us, redeemed us, called us, and we belong to Him!<\/p>\n

(If you are a believer in Christ, then re-read that verse and insert YOUR NAME<\/span> in it.)<\/p>\n

But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O ________, <\/em>
\nAnd He who formed you, O ________:<\/em>
\n\u201cFear not, for I have redeemed you _________.
\nI have called you by your name; __________<\/em>
\nYou are Mine.<\/em><\/p>\n

What a blessing it is to be in Christ!<\/p>\n
