We revisit the garden to expose the first lie, reframe the cross as the end of Adam’s story, and call believers to awaken to union, not separation. We read 1 John 3:8 through the lens of influence versus identity and recast the Spirit’s role as reminding us who we are.
• why misunderstanding Adam distorts the cross and identity
• the cross dismantling deception, not just forgiving behavior
• righteousness as gift lived from, not goal achieved
• 1 John 3:8 read as mindset contrast, not salvation threat
• pressing into God versus recognizing indwelling union
• renewing the mind as the place Adam-thinking dies
• the prodigal as realization rather than transformation
• the Spirit guiding into truth and witnessing sonship
• awake to righteousness as present-tense awareness
