Who are you? Do you know? Did you know that you are Chosen? Holy? God's Special Possession? It's all true. You are highly favored!
This month we focus on the Environment of Identity which invites to us to hold tightly to the truth that "I belong to God and He loves me!" so that it can come alive in our families. Every month of the year we will focus on one of Ten Environments. Each of these ten captures an essential Biblical Truth that all work together to provide our children with an intentional faith foundation.
How will you weave these environments into the atmosphere of your home? This blog will be here to help you figure that out.
The Environment of Identity highlights who we are in Christ. According to Ephesians 1, we have been chosen, adopted, redeemed, sealed and given an inheritance in Christ... all of which we did nothing to earn. This conviction allows children to stand firm against the destructive counter identities the world will offer.
We can start adorning our homes with the Environment of Identity using this month's Family Verse. At our house, we write the monthly verse on a chalkboard in the dining room. That way we can read it a few nights a week at dinner and, by the end of the month, we usually have it memorized. Our friends like to write it on their bathroom mirror with a dry erase marker or a taped note. However you do it, display the verse, read it aloud and talk about it once in a while.
Ask your kids: "Do you know who you are?" "Did you know that you are chosen? Holy? God's Special Possession?" It's all true. You are highly favored!
