Welcome to episode 203 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we begin a three-week series on our identity in Christ. Today, we explore what it means to go from broken to beloved.
Key takeaways:
- To understand who we are, we must first understand how God sees us.
- Before we cleaned up our act, before we got our lives together, while we were still defined by our brokenness—that's when Christ died for us.
- Many of us exhaust ourselves trying to earn what God has already freely given. We strive for approval, validation, and worth, unaware that in Christ, these are already ours.
- The battlefield for identity is often in our thoughts.
Quotable:
- Our identity is not earned but bestowed.
Application:
- So how do we begin to live from this new identity rather than constantly striving to achieve it?
- First, we must consistently renew our minds with God's truth.
- Second, we need to practice "identity statements" based on Scripture.
- Third, we must find community that reinforces our true identity.
