“For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Believe it or not, the God that spoke the universe into existence and created all that is, knows you personally. In fact, He created you, loves you and has provided a Savior for you. That’s Good News!
As a believer in Jesus Christ, your relationship to God changes in important ways – you take on an entirely new identity. The Bible addresses your identity and relationship to God in a number of important verses. A friend of God, Kibby, has taken the time to assemble some of these Bible verses into a small booklet to help you understand who you are as a believer.
So, if you are struggling with self-doubt, need a different perspective on your identity, need to know that you are loved or simply want to have a better understanding of your relationship with your spiritual Father, read on!

Do the Verses in the Booklet Apply to Me?
Yes, if you trust in Jesus Christ as your only hope for Salvation. If you have not surrendered yourself to Christ and wish to do so, please pray the Salvation Prayer and contact us on the Contact Us page to connect with other disciples of Christ. The Bible is very clear that salvation is a gift a grace exclusively to those who trust in Christ. There is no other way to know God and to receive His promises other than through His Son, Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 (Jesus speaking) “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else [other than Jesus Christ], for there is no name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
Other verses which indicate that Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation:
John 3:16, Romans 6:23, 1 John 2:22-23, John 3:36, 1 Timothy 2:5,
1 John 3:23-24, John 8:24, Hebrews 7:25, 1 John 5:11-12, John 17:3, 1 John 2:1-2
About the Verses
One of the first things you were taught as a small child was your name. Your heavenly Father also knows how important your identity is – that’s why He made you a new creation in Him when you received Jesus Christ as your Lord (2 Corinthians 5:17).
One of the reasons you may have lived with defeat, discouragement or low self-esteem is because you haven’t totally seen yourself through God’s eyes. You’ve only seen yourself through the mirror of your past, what others have said about you, your own experiences, or lies that the devil has whispered to you and you have believed. Now it’s time to look at yourself through the mirror of God’s Word, the Bible.
Romans 12:2 shows you how to do this. It says “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” As you daily feed yourself from the Word, He will show you clearly who you are as one who believes in Him. You will begin to see yourself without the mirror of your past, and the lies that you once believed will be replaced by God’s true vision of who you are!
These verses are offered to you as a starting place to your freedom. As you read the verses, we encourage you to open up your Bible and see for yourself what God has written about you. But please don’t stop there. Confess each promise out loud, mix it with faith, and receive the revelation that you are who God says you are and you have what He says you have.
God’s Words are exceedingly more powerful than the devil’s lies, and you will experience His power to transform your life when you agree with what He says. Our prayer for you is that you will live your life “In Christ”, becoming so aware of His love for you and your new and true identity in Him, that you will see yourself through His eyes and reflect His glory to others. Choose to take time today to know and remember who you are in Christ. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal these truths to you, and your life will never be the same!
Have You Received Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Savior?
If not, you can make that decision right now. You can choose God and make the decision to follow Him and walk in His plan for your life. In the Bible Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6).
If you want to choose to surrender your life to God, he will change your life both now and in the afterlife. It is the wisest decision you will ever make. With permission from you, his Holy Spirit will do things in you that you cannot do yourself. He truly makes us into new creations, and forms Christ in us to make us who he created us to be in the first place before sin got in the way. If you want to accept Christ as your Lord and savior, please pray this prayer of salvation… “God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus is the only way to You. I believe Jesus died on the cross, shed His precious blood, and paid for my sins. I receive Your forgiveness for all of my sins. I believe that Jesus rose from the dead, so right now I receive Him as the Lord of my life. I’m not going to live to please myself any longer. I’m going to live for Jesus every day. Devil, you just lost me. Jesus, I am Yours, now and forever! Heavenly Father, I thank you that You have heard my prayer. My past is gone, my sins are forgiven, I am Your child, and I’m on my way to Heaven. Amen.”

Origins of the Booklet
Hello, my name is Kibby. All Christians have stories to tell of God’s leading and here’s part of mine. When God gloriously saved me over 25 years ago, an elderly Christian lady gave me a list of verses she’d written out and personalized in her shaky handwriting and said, “Honey, you’re going to need to know your new identity in Christ.” I gratefully took them and it has been a great help to me over the years. Later, the Lord impressed on me that it was to be made into a pocket-sized red booklet (the red cover would symbolize the Blood of Jesus), and that HE would make it easy to be translated and HE would carry it around the world. Through the years, He has faithfully done as He said. So far, the booklet has been translated into Spanish, French, Creole Russian, and Swahili. He has anointed me to persevere with this as well.
About the Ministry
It is a quiet ministry that my husband and I work on together. If anyone would like to participate by translating it into other languages, please feel free – the template is readily available. Please just email me a copy when finished.
We’ve fulfilled hundreds of thousands of requests for this booklet from people of various denominations throughout the world. They have shared the booklets with friends, churches, jail and prison chaplains, para-ministries, teen groups, children’s groups, conferences, etc. Everyone who loves God and wants to grow spiritually needs to know their identify in Christ Jesus! We ask that people who request booklets help us cover the cost of printing, shipping, and mailing by contributing 50 cents per booklet. Our desire is that the final recipient will pay nothing. Certainly, we are not seeking to make money – our desire is simply to see the booklet distributed because we know the Word of God is powerful and changes hearts and lives.
The booklet is for believers in Christ Jesus. Often, when people who are not disciples of Christ receive it, they decide they want to surrender their lives to Him and live for Him. The booklet includes a prayer of salvation in the Preface to start people on their way in their new life with Christ.
About this Website
The Bible says some very specific things directly to those who trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and have surrendered their lives to Him. Knowing what God says is an important step towards realizing the promises and blessings God desires for you (of course, it is also true that Believers have responsibilities in their relationship with Christ as well, but that’s a different booklet). On this site I have listed some verses from the Bible specifically directed towards disciples of Christ. This is not a comprehensive list, so I encourage you to do some research on your own. It is also good to see the verses I have listed in the context of the passage. This collection of verses represents the identity and nature of disciples of Christ from God’s viewpoint – in other words, your identity in Christ
