7 THINGS BELIEVERS SHOULD REMIND THEMSELVES OF EVERY DAY
Daily Truths for the Grace Believer
📖 Key Text: Colossians 3:1–4; Romans 12:1–2 KJV
INTRODUCTION
The Christian life is not maintained by feelings. Some mornings we feel strong; other days we feel weak. Circumstances change, emotions fluctuate, and trials come unexpectedly—but our position in Christ does not change.
That is why believers need their minds continually renewed by sound doctrine.

Daily Truths for the Grace Believer
📖 Key Text: Colossians 3:1–4; Romans 12:1–2 KJV
INTRODUCTION
The Christian life is not maintained by feelings. Some mornings we feel strong; other days we feel weak. Circumstances change, emotions fluctuate, and trials come unexpectedly—but our position in Christ does not change.
That is why believers need their minds continually renewed by sound doctrine.
Romans 12:2 KJV — “...be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...”
From a dispensational perspective, we especially need to remember who God has made us in Christ according to the revelation of the Mystery committed to Paul.
📖 Romans 16:25
📖 Ephesians 3:1–9
These seven reminders are not a formula for getting saved. They are truths that should shape the daily thinking of someone who is already saved by grace through faith.
1️⃣ GOD IS MY FATHER — REMEMBER YOUR RELATIONSHIP
📖 Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6–7; Ephesians 1:3
The believer does not approach God as a condemned sinner trying to earn acceptance. Through Christ, we have a blessed relationship with God.
A. RECEIVED as Sons
📖 Galatians 4:6
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
We are not working to become God's children.
Those who are in Christ already possess this relationship.
B. RELEASED from Fear
📖 Romans 8:15
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear...”
Grace does not produce a life of constant terror that God will cast us away every time we fail.
Our standing rests upon Christ's work, not ours.
C. RICHLY Blessed in Christ
📖 Ephesians 1:3
God:
“...hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”
Notice the tense:
“HATH BLESSED.”
We are not begging God to give us a spiritual position.
We already possess spiritual blessings in Christ.
DAILY REMINDER:
I DON'T HAVE TO EARN GOD'S ACCEPTANCE—HE HAS MADE ME ACCEPTED IN CHRIST.
📖 Ephesians 1:6.
2️⃣ CHRIST IS MY SAVIOUR — REMEMBER YOUR REDEMPTION
📖 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Ephesians 1:7; Titus 3:5–7
Every day we should remember why we are saved.
Not because we were good enough.
Because Christ was enough.
A. REDEEMED by His Blood
📖 Ephesians 1:7
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”
Our redemption is not in religion.
It is in Christ.
B. RESCUED by Grace
📖 Titus 3:5
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...”
Salvation excludes human boasting.
We did not help Christ save us.
Christ accomplished salvation; faith receives it.
C. RESTING in the Gospel
📖 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Our Gospel is clear:
Christ died for our sins.
He was buried.
He rose again the third day.
Do not begin the Christian life by trusting Christ and then spend the rest of your life trusting yourself.
DAILY REMINDER:
CHRIST SAVED ME—CHRIST'S WORK IS ENOUGH.
3️⃣ HEAVEN IS MY HOME — REMEMBER YOUR RESIDENCE
📖 Philippians 3:20–21; Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 3:1–4
From a Dispensational perspective, this truth is especially significant because the Body of Christ has a heavenly position and destiny.
A. HEAVENLY Citizenship
📖 Philippians 3:20
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:”
This world is not where our ultimate hope lies.
Our citizenship is heavenly.
B. HEAVENLY Position
📖 Ephesians 2:6
God:
“...hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:”
Israel's prophetic program concerns God's purposes for the earth, while the Body of Christ is revealed as possessing a distinctive heavenly position.
C. HEAVENLY Perspective
📖 Colossians 3:2
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Because our position is heavenly, our perspective should increasingly become heavenly.
Do not allow temporary earthly problems to make you forget eternal spiritual realities.
DAILY REMINDER:
I LIVE ON EARTH, BUT MY POSITION AND HOPE ARE HEAVENLY.
4️⃣ SCRIPTURE IS MY GUIDE — REMEMBER RIGHT DIVISION
📖 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16–17; Romans 15:4
Every Christian needs Scripture—but Scripture must also be rightly divided.
A. READ All Scripture
📖 2 Timothy 3:16
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable...”
Dispensationalism does not mean throwing away most of the Bible.
All Scripture is FOR our learning.
📖 Romans 15:4.
B. RIGHTLY DIVIDE Scripture
📖 2 Timothy 2:15
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God... rightly dividing the word of truth.”
Everything in Scripture is true, but everything is not written directly to us.
We must distinguish:
Prophecy and Mystery.
Israel and the Body.
Law and Grace.
Earthly calling and heavenly calling.
C. RECOGNIZE Pauline Doctrine
📖 Romans 11:13
“For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles...”
For doctrine concerning the present Dispensation of Grace and the Body of Christ, we especially recognize the revelation given through the Apostle Paul.
📖 Ephesians 3:1–9.
DAILY REMINDER:
READ THE WHOLE BIBLE—BUT RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WHOLE BIBLE.
5️⃣ BELIEVERS ARE MY FAMILY — REMEMBER YOUR RELATIONSHIP IN THE BODY
📖 1 Corinthians 12:12–14, 27; Ephesians 4:1–6; Galatians 6:10
Every saved believer today is spiritually united in the one Body of Christ.
A. MEMBERS of One Body
📖 1 Corinthians 12:27
“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”
Our spiritual unity is not based upon denominational labels.
It is based upon our position in Christ.
B. MAINTAIN Unity
📖 Ephesians 4:3
“Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Notice Paul does not tell us to create spiritual unity.
The Spirit has already created it.
We are commanded to keep it.
C. MINISTER to One Another
📖 Galatians 6:10
“...let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
Christian fellowship is more than attending the same building.
We should encourage, strengthen, forgive, serve, and edify one another.
DAILY REMINDER:
OTHER BELIEVERS ARE NOT MY COMPETITION—WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE SAME BODY.
6️⃣ THE GOSPEL IS MY MESSAGE — REMEMBER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
📖 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; 2 Corinthians 5:18–21; Romans 1:16
God has entrusted believers with a glorious message.
A. DECLARE the Gospel
📖 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Our message is not primarily:
Join my denomination.
Follow my pastor.
Adopt my traditions.
Our message is:
CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND ROSE AGAIN.
B. DELIVER the Word of Reconciliation
📖 2 Corinthians 5:19
God:
“...hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”
We are not Israel's kingdom priesthood.
In this Dispensation of Grace, Paul describes our ministry as ambassadorial.
C. DISPLAY Christ as His Ambassador
📖 2 Corinthians 5:20
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ...”
An ambassador represents another person and another country.
Our citizenship is heavenly.
Our Head is Christ.
Our message is reconciliation.
Our mission is to make Christ known.
DAILY REMINDER:
I AM NOT HERE MERELY TO MAKE A LIVING—I AM HERE TO MAKE CHRIST KNOWN.
7️⃣ GOD'S GLORY IS MY GOAL — REMEMBER YOUR REASON
📖 1 Corinthians 10:31; Philippians 1:20–21; Colossians 3:17
Everything eventually comes down to this:
Who receives the glory from my life?
A. GLORIFY God in Everything
📖 1 Corinthians 10:31
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
Christian service is not confined to Sunday.
Even ordinary activities can be performed with a desire to honor God.
B. GIVE Christ the Preeminence
📖 Colossians 1:18
“...that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
Christ does not merely deserve a place in our lives.
He deserves preeminence.
Not the pastor.
Not the ministry.
Not the denomination.
CHRIST.
C. GOAL — Magnify Christ
📖 Philippians 1:20–21
Paul desired:
“...Christ shall be magnified in my body...”
And then declared:
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
This is mature Christianity.
The goal changes from:
“How can God make my life better?”
to:
“HOW CAN MY LIFE MAGNIFY CHRIST?”
CONCLUSION
Every morning the world begins competing for your mind.
Problems demand attention.
Responsibilities demand attention.
Social media demands attention.
Money demands attention.
Fear demands attention.
But before the world tells you who you are, remind yourself what God's Word says you are in Christ.
Remember:
God is my Father.
Christ is my Saviour.
Heaven is my home.
Scripture rightly divided is my guide.
Believers are my spiritual family.
The Gospel is my message.
God's glory is my goal.
These are not positive-thinking slogans.
They are truths grounded in our position in Christ.
