Let's See Your ID
If you were asked to identity yourself you would probably get some sort of ID from your wallet. There is bound to be something in there that describes you ...
A Struggling Christian
Do you have a problem living up to what God expects of you in your Christian life? No matter how hard any of us try to do what the Scriptures say, the Christian walk continues to be impossible.
A New Identity
Like the physical identity described by an ID card, we also have spiritual identities. They picture what we are and what we possess in the spiritual realm.
Being In Christ
Water baptism is a marvelous one act play demonstrating how a new believer becomes a new creation "in Christ."
From Death to Life
When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they died spiritually --God's Holy Spirit left them. And every person that has been born into the world since then (with the exception of Jesus) has also been dead spiritually.
The Old is Gone
The standard or book of rules (the law) that God used to measure us by was taken away when we became believers "in Christ." Jesus Christ fulfilled every bit of the law leaving none of it for us to even try.
The New Has Come
The new you won't change all of your attitudes or actions to immediately be like Jesus. Learning who you are "in Christ" is the real starting point for growth.
A New Relationship
Your relationship to God is no longer based on what you do; it's based on who you are. It's the real you.
In Summary ...
God doesn't expect you to be obedient in following the rules anymore. He wants you to know how much He cares for you so that you can live a live of peace, contentment and compassion in response to His love.
