IDENTITY
Pastor Cindy Stewart
(A Message From The Vault)
Today’s message was inspired by working through a question that a good friend of mine recently asked me. Here is the question: “If you thought Jesus was going to return in 10 years what would you do differently?” I think most of us have pondered what we would do if we found out we only had a specific amount of time left here on earth, but this question is different.
Jesus has promised that He will return for us one day. While no one knows exactly when that will be, as Christ-followers, there is a different motivation for how we live based on what we believe about who we are! I believe the best way to answer such a thought-provoking question is from knowing the true identity of who we are in Christ.
Ephesians 1:3 says, “Everything heaven contains has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!”
In this podcast, we will look at a few key indicators of what it looks like when we see ourselves the way that God sees us - our identity wrapped into Christ!
Intimate knowledge of who Jesus is
“Being” before “doing”
Living devoted and Holy
Receiving God’s grace
From our Christ-centered identity comes the ability, not only to carry the presence of Jesus, but to connect others to Him. It is my hope that this message will motivate you to actively pursue knowing Jesus more, to live a life holy and devoted unto Him and to continually acknowledge and receive God’s grace in your life. When we live in that truth, it will not matter if Jesus comes back in 10 years or 10 days because God will be glorified in our lives!
