Who We Are

I've been working on this list for quite a while, and is complete to the best of my ability. If you find anything that is missing feel free to leave in a comment and I will add it to the list. As you can see there are two lists, the first list deals with who we were before we meet Christ. The second list shows who we are now and some of what we have since becoming followers of Christ. I hope this is an encouragement to all of you as you read through and are reminded of who you are in Christ.
