Who are you in Christ?

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10

As a believer of Christ we become a new man through the holy spirit and grow in faith through the  knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  As we develop an intimate relationship with the Lord, he reveals great and mighty things to us. In 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 17-20 it is written:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

As a new creature in Christ our hearts change and we operate differently from the world by faith. As I thought of what this heart change looked like I compiled some scriptures that came to mind of the mindset of a servant of Christ.
