Embracing Your Identity in Christ

Hello, wonderful followers! Happy #MotivationalMonday! Today, let's talk about embracing our identity in Christ. 🌿

Scripture of the Day: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

In Christ, we are made new. Let go of the old labels and worldly expectations, and embrace the identity God has given you. You are loved, valued, and called for a purpose. Live boldly as a child of God, and let your life be a testimony of His grace. 🌌

God’s promises and plans for you are more significant than the fear you have inside. Remember, you move and obey Him not because of your dreams to prosper but for His promises to be fulfilled. Everything you have and you are right now is from the goodness of God. Always hold on to the things that last forever – His promise. #faithoverfear #jesuslovesevenme #godsfavor #IdentityInChrist #graceofgod #unmeritedgrace #blessedandhighlyfavored #scriptureoftheday #trustgodintimesoftrouble #grateful #motivation #prayer https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJdw3XyFwr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What's the point of living a life where you cannot be yourself!

That's boring.

Sons Not Slaves | Galatians 4:1-5

I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. — Galatians 4:1-5

CALL OUT: I want to give a shout-out to the 1300 men at Men's Advance from Alexandria, MN. Thanks for letting me be with you over the weekend.

If you remember back a few days, Paul had compared the Law to a "prison warden" and a "pedagogue." Now, he compares it to “guardians and managers” whose job was to supervise until the date of their status had ended.

Here's Paul's illustration.

There was a long period of time when your Father (God) used the Law to guard and manage you. During this time, you were like a son who was no different from a slave. You had borne the title "son" but were being guarded and managed, just like a "slave." However, that time is done. The "fullness of your time" as a son has come. You (the sons of Abraham) are now of age through the Father's provision of his Son born under the law, which frees you as slaves and adopts you as sons with all the rights of a pure-blooded heir.

Here's Paul's point in context.

In the same way, the Law was your former guardian and manager. But now that you are heirs, you don't serve the same guardian and manager. In fact, it would look foolish for you, as a pure-blooded heir adopted as a son, to go back to serving under a guardian and manager when you don't need one. You have a Father, a family, and the freedom to live as sons.

Here's Paul's exhortation for the believers in Galatia:

The discipleship and discipline of the Law had its time. Its purpose was to train and teach you the way of righteousness. But there comes a point when you no longer need this guardian and manager. By faith, the Father has adopted you as full heirs into his family. So don't go back to the old patterns of living like a slave when you are a son. Circumcision under the Law is one of those old signs that add nothing to your salvation by faith as heirs.

Here's the exhortation for you today.

By faith, you are an adopted son. By faith, you are a full heir of his righteousness. By faith, you are a son of the living God. If this is the case, why do you immediately return that voice of shame in moments of sin? Why do you let your shame rule over your sonship?

This is similar to what the Galatians were doing. They were using former behaviors to fortify their current relationship. But when you let shame rule over your sonship, you are returning to the slavery of the Law.

Stop listening to the voice of shame and letting it rule over you. Preach back to this voice, "I am no longer a slave to sin. I am a child of God." Consider singing this song to yourself. I posted it below.

#FromSlaveryToSonship #EmbracingAdoption #NoLongerSlaves #IdentityInChrist #FreedByFaith

ASK THIS:

How does recognizing ourselves as adopted sons of God change the way we view our struggles with sin and shame? In what areas of our lives do we still tend to revert to a "slave mentality" instead of embracing our identity as sons of God, and how can we actively shift our perspective in those areas? DO THIS: Tell your shame, "I am no longer a slave to sin. I am a child of God."

PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for adopting me as your son and freeing me from the bondage of sin and shame. Help me to live confidently in my identity as your child, rejecting the voice of shame and embracing the freedom you've given me through Christ. Amen.

PLAY THIS: No Longer Slaves.

Rediscovering Your Identity in Christ 😇🙏 #identityinchrist #faithjourney

[mackenlov]

It should be a desire to possess ; whether, properties, lands, materials and etc. as a spirit of God it should be your desire for such success. You will not find rest until you have possess. It is our rightful rights as child of God in the identify of Christ. 2024 goal is to own something.

Thoughts From The Throne Room

Breathe The Breath of Life

Feb 15, 2021

Breathe in a new breath of LIFE. Fill your lungs with the HOLY SPIRIT. Let your whole body breathe the breath of Christ, the LIFE of Christ. Let every cell be filled with His LIFE in you, to you and through you, for others.

Step out in the POWER that now indwells you. The ground shakes, evil and destruction, pain, and sickness, fear and deception, brokenness and abuse, run at the sound of His footsteps in you.

Your destiny is that He live in you and you in Him. It was and is the desire of His heart fulfilled by the mystery of our spirits being reborn in Him. Breathe the BREATH of Christ, breathe it in, fill yourself with Peace, righteousness, joy, goodness, kindness, patience, faithfulness, self control, wisdom and love.

Let the world eat of this fruit. It is out of the goodness of this fruit, this power in you, that all men will be drawn to your LOVING Father. NOTHING in the universe can stand up to the power of LOVE that now lives and dwells inside you. Now go in complete confidence and give it away freely!

John 17:20-26 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Matthew 10:7-8 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

I took a DNA test and God is my father. #youridentityinjesus The issue of your value is settled at the cross. #youridentity You don't work in the hope of getting an identity; you work in celebration of the identity that, in Christ, you have been given. #identityinchrist If we don't discover our identity, worth and purpose in God through Jesus, we will find and worship a substitute god. #identityinjesus Your identity is NOT in your SIN, your identity is in your SAVIOR. #identity God doesn't love us based on performance but on who we are through Jesus. #youridentityinchrist 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.- Colossians 3:3 #youridentityisinchrist 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

Wednesday: In Jesus I am Righteous Read: Romans 5:1–2 SOAP: Romans 5:1–2 “Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have also obtained access into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory.” The dictionary defines “righteous” as being morally right or justified. We justify our actions by explaining our motives, or how it led to a positive outcome. We justify spending money or eating another slice of cake or going on vacation by trying to prove that we need or deserve it. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, ask Him to forgive our sins, and commit our lives to Him, we are made righteous. Everything that separated us from God is covered by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. We are not only made new, but we are made right before God. In the earlier chapters of Paul’s letter to the Romans, he explained our need for salvation and how we could receive salvation. In chapter 5, where our reading begins today, Paul explored the benefits we receive because of our salvation.  Peace. When we are made right with God through Jesus Christ, we experience the fruit of peace. Peace helps us live and act confidently because of what Jesus has done for us. This peace and confidence is not based on our circumstances or what we can achieve, but is real and lasting and only comes from Jesus. Access. Layman’s New Testament Bible Commentary notes the word used for “access” isn’t simply an open door that we walk through, but “refers to ushering someone into the presence of royalty, or a ship sailing into the protection of a safe harbor.” When we are made right before God, we are ushered into a place of protection, rest, and security.  Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me so much that You would create a way for me to be made right before You. You make me new, You forgive me, and You make a way so that I can come before You in peace and find rest. God, I praise You and love You. Amen. #morningdevotional #youversion #identityinChrist https://www.instagram.com/p/CbcZJJFO7FB/?utm_medium=tumblr
