Professions of Faith
You are encouraged to personalize these professions of faith in Christ by reading them aloud.
1. I am born again from above.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God’” (John 3:3).
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever” (I Peter 1:23).
2. My first birth was a fleshly birth, but the second birth is a spiritual birth.
“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to
Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into
his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the
flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst
not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit” (John
3:1-8).
3. I am born not of seed that is corruptible, but of incorruptible seed. This means that
when I do sin within the will, I will not corrupt the spirit.
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever” (I Peter 1:23).
4. I am born of the Word of God, which lives and dwells in me for ever.
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and
abideth for ever” (I Peter 1:23).
5. Since I am born again in the spirit, I am not able to sin in the spirit. I can not sin in my
spirit-man because God's seed lives within me.
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin,
because he is born of God” (I John 3:9).
6. Since I am born of the Spirit of God, Satan can not touch my spirit to destroy it.
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself,
and that wicked one toucheth him not” (I John 5:18).
7. I have been taken out of Satan's kingdom of darkness and have been translated into the
kingdom of Jesus Christ.
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son.” (Colossians 1:13).
8. I have been made free from the power of sin and have become a servant of righteousness.
“Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness” (Romans 6:18).
9. I have been joined unto Christ
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (I Corinthians 6:17).
10. In Christ, I am complete; therefore, I need nothing more.
“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” (Colossians 2:10).
11. I am sealed with the Holy Spirit.
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom
also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise” (Ephesians 1:13).
12. I was spiritually dead to the things of God. I was actually dead in my spirit, but I have
been made alive by the spirit of Christ.
“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)”
(Ephesians 2:5).
13. I was considered a sinner, but now I am made the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of
God in him” (II Corinthians 5:21).
14. Because of the righteousness that I have in Christ, I am fully accepted of God.
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved” (Ephesians
1:6).
15. God’s complete love for me casts out the fear of judgment.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth
is not made perfect in love” (I John 4:18).
16. I am set apart from the world unto the living God; therefore, I am actually a saint.
“Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be
saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours”
(I Corinthians 1:2).
17. I am not condemned as I live in Christ.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1).
18. I actually have the divine nature of God dwelling within me.
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (II
Peter 1:4).
19. In the spirit, I am seated with Christ Jesus in heaven far above all the powers of the
enemy.
“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus”
(Ephesians 2:6).
20. I have eternal life in Christ.
“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:15).
21. From the very moment that I received Christ until the end, I shall not perish.
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand” (John 10:28-29).
22. I am in the hands of Jesus and in the hands of God, the Father. Therefore, nothing is
able to take me out of God’s hands.
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand” (John 10:28-29).
23. No weapon that the enemy has formed against me shall prosper.
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in
judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 54:17).
24. As I humble myself and fear the LORD, I find riches, honor, and life.
“By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life” (Proverbs 22:4).
25. As I meekly engraft God’s Word into my life, it saves my mind from thinking wrong
thoughts, my will from making wrong decisions, and my heart from feeling wrong
emotions.
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the
engrafted word, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21).
26. Jesus is always with me.
“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).
27. I will not have to face the wrath of God because I have received salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (I
Thessalonians 5:9).
28. God has called me unto himself, but not according to my works, but by his own gift of
grace.
“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to
his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” (II Timothy
1:9).
29. I am successful as I meditate on and apply the Word of God in my life.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8).
30. God has elected me to be holy and to receive His love.
“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of
mind, meekness, longsuffering” (Colossians 3:12).

“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth” (Romans 8:33).

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16).

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29).

the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).
39. God’s Word leads me as I walk, keeps me as I sleep, and talks to me when I awake.

have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against
that day” (II Timothy 1:12)

46. I am set free from emotional bruises (blows to my identity) through Jesus.
