May Bible Reading Plan

Welcome to our monthly Bible Reading Plan for the month of May! In a world that constantly seeks to define us—by our careers, relationships, successes, and failures—God offers a steadfast identity that is unshaken by external circumstances. As Christian women, understanding who we truly are in Christ shapes our perspective, strengthens our faith, and grounds us in His eternal truth.

This month’s reading plan, My Identity in Christ,” is designed to help you embrace the biblical truths of who God says you are. Through daily scripture readings, reflections, and study questions, you will explore the richness of being chosen, redeemed, and loved unconditionally by our Creator.

As we grow in Christ, we begin to discover who we truly are, and our actions necessarily follow. Living deeply rooted in our Christ-centered identity does much more than simply build our confidence. It also greatly impacts how we respond to others and provides a powerful insulator against sin. In each moment, we are living as a deeply loved child of God, held secure by Christ. 

Whether you are struggling with self-worth, comparison, or uncertainty, His Word speaks life and clarity into your journey. As we walk through these passages together, may you find confidence, security, and joy in your God-given identity. You are not defined by the world—you are defined by the One who made you, loves you, and calls you His own.

My Identity in Christ: How God Sees You 

God’s vision of who you are is far different from how the world might see you. The Bible reveals that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), and called His beloved daughter (1 John 3:1). Your identity is rooted in His grace, not in your past, your performance, or others’ opinions.

You are redeemed through Christ’s sacrifice (Ephesians 1:7), which means you are no longer bound by sin and shame. Instead, you are forgiven, restored, and made new (2 Corinthians 5:17). The enemy may whisper doubts, but God’s Word stands firm—you are victorious in Christ (Romans 8:37).

God sees you clothed in His righteousness (Isaiah 61:10), seated in heavenly places with Christ (Ephesians 2:6), and called with a divine purpose (Jeremiah 29:11). He does not see your failures; He sees His workmanship, created for good works (Ephesians 2:10). His love for you is not conditional, it is everlasting, unchanging, and steadfast (Romans 8:38-39). As you meditate on these truths, may you embrace the deep, unshakable reality of who you are in Him.

Why is it Important to Know Who You Are in Christ?

Understanding your identity in Christ transforms how you live, love, and lead. When you know that you are secure in Him, you are no longer defined by fear or failure. Instead, you operate in faith and purpose, living with confidence in His promises.

The world may try to distort your worth, but God’s truth silences every lie. Knowing your identity sets you free (John 8:32) from seeking validation in people, achievements, or fleeting standards. It allows you to walk boldly in His calling instead of comparing yourself to others.

Your identity shapes your relationship with God, too. When you understand that you are deeply loved and accepted, you approach Him with trust rather than hesitation. You also reflect His love to others, bringing hope to those searching for meaning.

There are a few things you should know about who you are in Christ:

1. Who you are in Christ is important. You are the example of Christ to the people around you. You have gifts that God gave you, and He gave them to you to build up the church and spread love of Christ.
2. Your gift is not what defines you; it is who Christ is inside you and what He has done in your life. For example, I write and produce music. But I am not just a musician. I am a Christian who writes and produces music.
3. Your natural/spiritual gift is important in the ministry of the church, as stated in Ephesians 4:1-16. Why? Ephesians 4:12 puts it perfectly, “For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, and for edifying of the body of Christ.”

So, I encourage you, do not be afraid to share your faith with anyone. Just because someone says negative things about your beliefs.

Stay unashamed (Romans 1:16), and stay proud of your faith in Christ. Use your identity wisely, as well as your gifts.

Knowing who you are in Christ anchors your soul amidst life’s uncertainties. It gives you unshakable confidence, clarity, and peace. Your worth is not found in the opinions of the world—but in the unchanging truth of God’s Word.
