How do you identify yourself? Do you identify by your family, country of origin, ethnic group, job, gender,…? If you are a follower of Christ, you have a new identity, a Gospel identity, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17.
What is a Gospel identity? What does it mean to look at ourselves that way? What changes will happen when the old things pass away and the new things come?
Over the next number of weeks we are going to look in Ephesians at the uniqueness of our identity found in the work of God and our relationship with His Son, Jesus. If you have a personal relationship with God in Jesus, then who you are in Christ is of far more importance than any other description or label you possess. More importantly, who you are in Christ can and will influence everything about you; not just in eternity, but each and every day. Unfortunately, most of us are unaware of the hope of our calling, the riches of our inheritance in Christ and the power of God that we might stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
So join us as we learn, live, and celebrate our Gospel Identity together.
