Ep. 44 - I Am A New Creation
Listen now
Description
We are a few weeks into a series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to figure out who they are, to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important. The good news for us is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. So in this series, our goal is to consider what the Bible says about us. What does it say about us apart from Jesus? What does it say about us now that we are in a relationship with Jesus? So far we’ve seen the Bible use a number of metaphors to communicate what God has done for us in Christ, and what that means for our identity. We’ve seen that we are justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we’re redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we’re reconciled— God has made us his friends. In our last episode, we saw that we are not just friends but adopted into God’s own family. In Christ, He has become our Father and we have access to Him and begin to take on the family likeness and even become His heirs. If you’ve noticed, each of these gospel metaphors has gotten more and more personal. That continues today as we look at the next reality of our identity in Christ where we will consider, in Christ, I Am a New Creation. **Bible study portion starts at 14:00**
