This message was preached at Shady Grove Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia.
Have you ever introduced yourself by your failures? “I’m divorced.” “I’m an addict.” “I’m a mess.” What if your true identity had nothing to do with your past mistakes or even your greatest achievements?
In this episode, we open Ephesians 1:1 and discover the breathtaking truth of who God says we are: saints and faithful in Christ Jesus. This isn’t a title we earn by flawless living. It’s a gift we receive by grace.
Just like a name given at birth or a new surname in marriage, our spiritual identity comes from God’s declaration, not our performance. Through Christ, we are transferred out of Adam’s family of sin into God’s family of righteousness. He no longer defines us by what we’ve done but by who we are in Jesus, holy, blameless, and dearly loved.
We’ll discuss how this identity shift changes everything:
You don’t have to keep introducing yourself by your worst moments. Your most authentic identity is found in Christ alone. Listen now and discover the freedom of living as who you really are: a beloved child of God.
