We’re diving into one of life’s most powerful questions: Who am I?
It’s a question we’ve all wrestled with at some point, and for believers, it carries a deeper weight. As life changes, we may question our identities completely. Am I still a sinner, or am I something new? Does my past define me? What does it mean to have an identity in Christ?
For those who are not saved, we challenge you to consider your identity: a sinner, on your way to a Christless eternity. More specifically, what that means is eternal suffering and separation from God in a conscious state for eternity. This is not what the Lord intended – listen to the call of the Gospel. Good news that the Son of God was born as a baby, grew into a Man, fully man, fully God, and died on the Cross to pay a price you could not pay. Your Sin was condemned, and your sins were paid for; accept the free gift of salvation and have a new identity today: new creation in Christ.
In this episode, we’re going to unpack what the Bible says about who you really are — not who the world says you are, not who your mistakes say you are — but who God says you are.
If you had to introduce yourself to someone, how would you identify yourself?
| What happens when I have an unstable identity?Being saved – are you saved?!How does it impact my life when I don’t know who I am or when I let my identity shift based on circumstances or opinions?” What does it mean to be “born again?”“Ye must be born again” – the words of the Lord Jesus2 Corinthians 5:7, 17Ephesians 2:10 What or Who ultimately defines my identity? My actions or God? Or is it a little bit of both?2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…” How do I see myself: as a sinner, a saint, or something else?When I sin, is it ok for me to admit: “I’m a sinner?”Romans 8:1 – “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus…”Ephesians 1:6 – “…He made us accepted in the Beloved.” Is there a difference between repentance and confession?Do sinners repent? Do saints confess? Do I need to keep repenting to stay saved?Romans 8:1 – “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus…”Hebrews 10:14 – “For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” Is salvation still active in my present life?Does that mean I can lose my salvation?2 Corinthians 4:16 – “…the inward man is being renewed day by day.”Colossians 3: 1 – 17 (focus on verse 10). – Man’s responsibility Philippians 2:12-13 – “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you…” |
