Colossians 3 (TPT)
9-10 Lay aside your old Adam-self 
with its masquerade and disguise. 
For you have acquired new creation life 
which is continually being renewed into the likeness of 
the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God. 
11 In this new creation life, 
your nationality makes no difference, 
or your ethnicity, education, 
or economic status — 
For it is Christ that means everything 
as He lives in every one of us!

(Our primary identity is as Image Bearers of Christ)

My Daily Decrees
I am an image bearer of Christ – in part today, but with the promise of completion at His final return. Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection released God’s covenant justice into the earth, reversing the curse of death unleashed by Adam’s sin. I am in right-standing with God today solely by the faith provided to me by the faithfulness of Christ. When I bowed my knee to His Lordship, my inherited sin-nature was crucified with Him, resulting in a transforming second-birth, fueled by the power of His Holy Spirit. My primary desires are to seek first His kingdom, love Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, and love others with the same supernatural love I continually experience in my relationship with Him. As my life unfolds I desire to be ever-more like Him, shedding all remnants of the rotting corpse of my sinful nature.

Exodus 19:5-6
If you will indeed obey My voice 
and keep My covenant, 
then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; 
for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me 
a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’

Commentary
It is as if God said to Adam and Eve, “I have a special job for you to do. 
I want you to make this world into a glorious place.
I want you to look after it on my behalf. I want it to be 
a place where heaven and earth come together, 
where you as the human pair, will be the people through whom 
all of creation will celebrate and worship the Creator.”
Genesis 1 teaches us that the human race has a very special, 
unique place within the entire design and narrative of creation – 
we are made in the image of God, 
reflecting His image into creation.

Ephesians 2:22 (TPT)
“God is transforming each one of you 
into the Holy of Holies, 
His dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!” 

1 Corinthians 6 (TPT)
15 Don’t you know that your bodies belong to Christ as His body parts? 
19 Have you forgotten that [heaven + earth]
your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? 
You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, 
the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary.
20 You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood…

Romans 3 (Kingdom New Testament)
21 Now, quite apart from the law… 
God's covenant justice has been displayed. 
22-23 God's covenant justice 
comes into operation through 
the faithfulness of Jesus the Messiah, 
for the benefit of all who have faith. 
For there is no distinction: all sinned, 
and fell short of God's glory – and
by God's grace they are freely declared to be in the right, 
to be members of the covenant, through the redemption 
which is found in the Messiah, Jesus.

Galatians 3 (Kingdom New Testament)
20 I have been crucified with the Messiah. 
I am, however, alive – but it isn't me, 
it's the Messiah who lives in me. 
And the life I do still live in the flesh, 
I live within the faithfulness 
of the son of God, who loved me 
and gave Himself for me.
21 I don't set aside God's grace. 
If 'righteousness’ comes through the law, 
then the Messiah died for nothing.

Ephesians 2 (TPT)
7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display 
of the infinite, limitless riches of His grace and kindness, 
which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.
8 It was only through this wonderful 
grace that we believed in Him. 
Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, 
for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ!
9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation 
is never a reward for good works or human striving.
10 We have become His poetry, a re-created people 
that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, 
for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One.
