Knowing God changes us. It changes who we are, our identity. One thing that changes in our life is that we begin to keep His commandments. We want to honor and please our God. We have victory in Him. 1 John 2:3-8 “3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his…

Who are you? Who are you in Christ? We have learned that we change as we become more like Christ. The more we know Him and follow Him, the more we become like Him. Our true identity and all that God can do through us and in our life is revealed the more we know…

We are beginning Week 3 in the study Defined, by Priscilla Shirer. For those watching the videos, you will want to go to video 3 on Youtube at this link. (See below.) Christ gives us a new identity when we come to know Him as Savior. A quote from Eric Geiger in the third video in the series…

Who are you? Who are you becoming? We become children of God when we choose His salvation. As we learned yesterday, we continue to change and become more like Christ through sanctification.

Who are you now? Who are you in Christ? Romans 5:17-18 helps us see the amazing truth of who we are in Christ Jesus. “17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,…

1 Corinthians 6:11, “11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” This verse is so encouraging! God says that He changes us when we come to Him. Notice that we are…

In our last post on identity, we learned of “the Fall.” Through this fall, sin entered the world. Sin was “imputed” onto us.  Romans 3:23 says, “23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” When we sin, we are essentially putting ourselves above God and His will/plan for us. It is…
