Identity Theft | Episode 12 | New Creation
Manage episode 437065980 series 1300734
In the twelfth episode of "Identity Theft," Duane teaches about our new identity in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5 explains how believers are now members of the family of God and should focus on their spiritual identity, not their fleshly one. The transformation that happens when someone becomes a new creature in Christ.
Our old identity, which can include our family background and physical traits, should not define us. Instead, as Paul states in Romans 7:18, walking after the flesh results in spiritual death and negative emotions like guilt and depression. Our true identity is found in Jesus, who gave us a new life and purpose.
The fleeting nature of short-term and long-term identities associated with our immediate families and the family of man traces back to Adam. Galatians 6:14-15 emphasizes that what truly matters is being a new creation in Christ and not any earthly or fleshly markers.
Our new identity in Christ liberates us from the curses and limitations of our old selves. Understanding this enables believers to experience God's blessings, achieve victory over their circumstances, and maintain spiritual health and prosperity, as mentioned in 3 John 2. Let go of your past identity and embrace the transformative power of your new life in Christ.
