Christian bragging

I was reminded yesterday of a great line in sales : "It ain't braggin' if it's true."

Have you reflected lately on what you can brag about because of Christ's work for you and in you? Here are just a few:

There is no condemnation for you. (Rom 8:1)
You are seated in the heavenly realms. (Eph 1:3; 2:6)
Your prayers are heard, and answered in love
You are never alone, never forsaken (Deut 31:6)
You have a Father. You have brothers and sisters. You are co-heirs with Christ. (Rom 8:17)
You have good work to do, and a purpose (Eph 2:10; Rom 8:28)
You've been given everything you need (2 Pe 1:3)

Can you think of at least two more?

Of course, we cannot boast in ourselves or our works, for it is all from God and all for God. Praise be to the Lord of Hosts, who has loved us with an undying love!
