IMMORTALITY UNVEILED: CHRIST IDENTITY MANIFESTED IN US

🌅 Daily Grace Devotional
Sunday, December 28th

Theme for December: Christ Identity Manifestation
OPENING SCRIPTURE
Luke 2:11 (KJV)
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”

INTRODUCTION: IDENTITY BEFORE MANIFESTATION
The Gospel does not begin with what Christ did; it begins with who Christ is. Before the miracles, before the Cross, before the resurrection, heaven announced an identity: a Saviour… Christ… the Lord. These were not titles to be earned later; they were realities to be believed, embraced, and manifested.

December, therefore, is not merely about a baby in a manger; it is about God revealing Himself in flesh, and through that revelation, unveiling our identity in Him. Christ Identity Manifestation is the unveiling of divine life in human vessels—first in Jesus, and now in us.
CHRIST HAD TO BELIEVE WHO HE WAS
Although Jesus was God incarnate, He did not live by divine automation. He lived by revelation and faith. Scripture shows us that Jesus grew in wisdom and understanding:
Luke 2:52 (KJV)
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

This growth reveals something profound: identity does not eliminate learning; it demands discovery. Jesus discovered Himself in Scripture. He aligned His consciousness with the Father’s testimony. When He spoke, acted, healed, resisted temptation, and submitted to death, He did so from identity awareness, not external validation.
His bold declaration in adulthood was not arrogance but revelation-driven confidence:
John 8:58 (KJV)
“Jesus said unto them,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”
The Incarnation required belief. Jesus had to believe He was God in the flesh in order to manifest God on the earth. Likewise, the believer must believe what the Scriptures say about them in Christ in order to manifest Christ in this world.

IMMORTALITY BROUGHT TO LIGHT
2 Timothy 1:10 (KJV)
“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

This verse does not say Jesus will abolish death—it says He hath abolished it. Death is not a future enemy; it is a defeated foe. Yet many believers live as though death still reigns, because immortality is often believed but not understood.

Immortality is not endless existence. Immortality is indestructible life—the life of God Himself. This life was not introduced by Christ; it was revealed by Him. The Gospel did not invent immortality; it uncovered it.
To bring something “to light” means it already existed but was hidden. In Christ, immortality was unveiled, explained, and imparted.

WHY CHRIST TOOK ON FLESH
Hebrews 2:14–15 (KJV)
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”

The devil’s power over humanity was not rooted in strength but in fear—specifically, the fear of death. Christ did not merely die to save us from sin; He died to destroy the authority system of death itself.
Fear is the language of mortality. Faith is the language of immortality. When immortality is revealed, fear loses its grip. Deliverance from death is not merely physical; it is psychological, spiritual, and existential.

THE RESURRECTED CHRIST SPEAKS
Revelation 1:18 (KJV)
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

Keys symbolize authority. Christ does not merely survive death—He governs it. He holds jurisdiction over realms that once terrified humanity. And this resurrected Christ now lives in the believer by the Spirit.
OUR IDENTITY MIRRORS HIS
1 John 4:17 (KJV)
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”

This statement is present tense, absolute, and unapologetic. It does not say as He was or as He will be, but as He is—glorified, victorious, immortal.
Christianity is not imitation; it is participation. The believer is not trying to become like Christ; the believer is one with Christ.
IMMORTALITY AND THE NEW CREATION
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

The new creation is not a repaired mortal—it is a reborn being with divine life. Eternal life is not a reward for heaven; it is a present possession.
John 5:24 (KJV)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
IMMORTALITY AS WITNESS
Christ was born not merely to save, but to reveal. Likewise, believers are called not merely to confess Christ, but to manifest Him. Immortality consciousness transforms how we live, love, endure, preach, and confront darkness.
When believers live from resurrection life, the Gospel is no longer only spoken—it is seen.

CONCLUSION
Just as Jesus believed the Father’s testimony concerning Himself, we must believe the Scriptures concerning us. Identity is the womb of manifestation. What you believe about who you are will determine how much of Christ you reveal.
Christ Identity Manifestation is not future—it is now.
CONFESSION
I believe the Word of God concerning my identity in Christ.
I carry divine, indestructible life.
Immortality is at work in me.
Death has lost its authority over my life.
Fear has no dominion over me.
As Christ is, so am I in this world.
I manifest Christ boldly through my life and through the preaching of the Gospel.
Amen.
