Faith for Everyday
Who Does God Say You Are?
What happens when you truly understand who you are in Christ? Everything changes. The moment you place your faith in Jesus, you're not just forgiven—you become an entirely new creation. Your old self, defined by mistakes, limitations, and separation from God, is gone. Something miraculous happens: "old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new."
This episode of Faith for Every Day explores the profound implications of 2 Corinthians 5:17 for your daily walk. We unpack three fundamental aspects of your new identity: complete forgiveness that removes your sins "as far as the east is from the west," adoption into God's family as His child and heir, and being set apart for a holy purpose that transcends worldly definitions of success or worth. These aren't just theological concepts—they're transformative truths that revolutionize your self-perception and approach to life's challenges.
Yet many believers struggle to live from this new identity, instead clinging to old labels, past failures, or worldly measures of value. We offer practical guidance for renewing your mind through Scripture, releasing the guilt and shame of your past, and walking with confidence in who God declares you to be. Your identity isn't determined by your performance or background—it's securely rooted in Christ's finished work on the cross. As you embrace this truth, you'll discover a foundation for hope, purpose, and joy that circumstances can't shake. Are you ready to see yourself through God's eyes and live as the new creation He's made you to be? Listen now and begin transforming how you navigate each day.
Understanding your identity in Christ. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things, old things, are passed away. Behold, all things have become new. 2nd Corinthians, chapter 5, verse 17 welcome to the 59 of faith for every day. Today we explore the transformative truth of understanding your identity in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17, declares Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things are passed away. Behold, all things have become new. When we place our faith in Jesus, we become brand new creation. Our old identity, defined by sin and separation from God, is replaced with a new identity, one rooted in Christ.
Speaker 1:Understanding your identity in Christ begins with recognizing what he has done for you. 1. You are forgiven Through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Your sins were washed away. Psalms 103, verse 12, reminds us as far as the east is from the west, so far had he removed our transgressions from us. 2. You are adopted into God's family.
Speaker 1:As believers, we are not just followers of Christ, we are His children. Romans 8, verse 16-17 says the Spirit itself beareth witness, with our spirit, that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. And three you are set apart. God has called you to live a life that reflects his holiness, is holiness and love. 1 Peter, 2, verse 9, states when we embrace this identity, it changes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. We no longer live for ourselves but for Christ, who gave everything for us. However, understanding your identity in Christ requires intentionality 1. Renew your mind. Romans 12, verse 2 urges us and be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Meditate on God's word to align your thoughts with his truth. Two let go of the past. Old habits, guilt and shame no longer define you. You are made new in Christ and his grace empowers you to walk in freedom. And three 3. Walk in confidence. Knowing who you are in Christ gives you boldness to live out your purpose and face challenges with faith.
Speaker 1:Today, reflect on this who does God say you are? Are you living in the fullness of your new identity or are you holding on to labels of your past? Take time to declare the truth of 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17 over your life. I am a new creature in Christ. My past is behind me and my future is secure in Him. Remember your identity is not based on your performance, your background or your struggles. It is rooted in Christ's finished work on the cross. As you meditate on this truth, let it transform you and the way you live, think and love. Your new identity in Christ is a gift, and it brings hope, purpose and joy to your life.
