WHO DOES GOD SAY I AM PART 2

The second part of this series is listed below.  I hope you find these verses to be a source of hope, joy, and comfort in this troublesome world.  I believe the better we know God, and the better we know what He really thinks about us, the more we grow to love Him with a true love, not one that is based on something others have told us, but on what God has told us.  For since God is the source of all love, then who better to tell us what love is, and who we  are?
 
Take care, and know God well. 
 
*  As a child of God, I am a fellow heir with Christ.
                And if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.              Romans 8:17
 
 
*  I have been accepted by Christ.
                Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.    Romans 15:7
 
*  I have been called to be a saint.
                To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.     1 Corinthians 1:2; Ephesians 1:1; Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:2
 
*  In Christ Jesus I have wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
                But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.                                1 Corinthians 1:30   
 
*  My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in me.
                Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?       1 Corinthians 3:16
 
                Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?      1 Corinthians 6:19
 
*  I am joined to the Lord and am one spirit with Him.
                But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.               
1 Corinthians 6:17
 
*  God leads me in triumph and knowledge of Christ.
                But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.      
2 Corinthians 2:14
 
*  The hardening of my mind has been removed in Christ.
                But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.              
2 Corinthians 3:14

 
Feel free to let us know which of these verses really speaks loudly to you.  Thank you.
