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. 🌌

Who Do You Say I Am? Understanding Jesus’ Identity

Photo by Brett Jordan on Pexels.com Throughout history, people have viewed Jesus in different ways—some see Him as a prophet, a teacher, or a historical figure. While these roles reflect aspects of His life, they fall short of His true identity. Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the source of eternal life. Who Is Jesus to You? Answering this question is deeply personal.…

OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST.

1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;”

It is because of Jesus Christ and the sacrificial gift of His death and resurrection that every believer and Christ follower can be called a chosen generation, His own special people.

This video is an international collaboration between artist Graham Fleming in Japan and our GT team here in California. Every word has been spoken to reflect the believer’s identity in Christ. Our hope is that you will use this as a tool to strengthen your personal walk and live victoriously in Christ.

--- Day 4

Title: "Finding Your True Identity in Christ"

Post Content:

Welcome to Day 4 of my 11-day journey of redemption and faith. Today, I want to talk about something many of us wrestle with: identity. Who are you? Are you defined by your past mistakes, achievements, or what others say about you? For a long time, I let the world define me. But through Christ, I’ve discovered my true identity, and you can too.

The Problem with a Worldly Identity

In today’s world, people often find their identity in things like:

Their career

Their success or failures

Their relationships

Their past

But the truth is, all of these things are temporary and can never truly define who you are. When I allowed my mistakes to define me, I felt hopeless. The arrest article, my regrets, and my failures became the labels I carried—until I found Christ.

Your Identity in Christ

The moment you give your life to Jesus, your identity changes. You’re no longer defined by your past, your failures, or even your successes. Instead, you become:

A child of God (John 1:12)

Forgiven and free (Romans 8:1-2)

Loved unconditionally (Romans 5:8)

A new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17)

In Christ, I am no longer just “Barine John, the man with a record.” I am “Barine John, a redeemed son of God.” That is who I am, and that’s who you can be too.

How to Step Into Your Identity in Christ

1. Accept God’s Truth: Believe what the Bible says about who you are in Him.

2. Let Go of Labels: Stop letting others or your past define you.

3. Renew Your Mind: Spend time reading Scripture and praying. Let God transform the way you think.

4. Live with Confidence: Walk boldly in your identity, knowing you’re fully loved and forgiven.

Bible Verse of the Day:

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." – 1 Peter 2:9

This verse reminds me that we are chosen and loved by God. He calls us out of darkness into His light, giving us a purpose and a new identity.

Encouragement for You

No matter what you’ve been through or what labels the world has placed on you, remember this: In Christ, you are loved, chosen, and redeemed. Your true identity is found in Him, and nothing can take that away.

Call to Action:

Take some time today to reflect on your identity. Who are you allowing to define you? If it’s not Christ, invite Him into your life and let Him show you who you truly are. If you need prayer or encouragement, feel free to reach out.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post: ���Walking in Freedom: Breaking Free from the Past.”

In this episode, we talk about the challenges we face as Christian parents trying to raise kids who stay true to their identity in a culture that pushes back against biblical values.  We discuss insights from real-life situations, like how cultural shifts are affecting family dynamics, and how we’re trying to guide our kids through these identity challenges. We talk about the dangers of letting culture define who we are, and why it’s so important to root our identity in what God says about us. Plus, we explore how to balance protecting our kids from harmful influences while also preparing them to think critically about the world around them. We keep it practical, encouraging fellow parents to build strong, biblical foundations early on, helping our kids develop a sense of belonging and purpose rooted in God's love. We chat about the cultural pressures that can shake this identity and share our thoughts on how Christian families can stick together and stay grounded in their faith.

Embracing Our Identity as God's Masterpieces: Ephesians 2:10 Explained

Ephesians 2:10 holds a powerful message for Christians, emphasizing their significance as God's masterpieces designed for good works. This verse encourages a proactive approach to life, urging believers to embrace their identity as vessels of God's grace and love. Understanding the depth of this message can transform our perspectives and guide us toward a purposeful life aligned with God's intentions.

A key aspect of Ephesians 2:10 is the emphasis on Christians as God's handiwork. This beautiful concept highlights the intricate craftsmanship of the divine creator, underscoring the inherent value and purpose each individual holds in God's eyes. It serves as a reminder that we are intentionally designed for meaningful contributions to the world around us.

Additionally, Ephesians 2:10 motivates Christians to pursue good works as a reflection of their faith and gratitude for God's grace. It calls for an active engagement in acts of kindness, compassion, and love towards others. By doing so, believers can tangibly demonstrate God's love in their everyday lives, ultimately bringing about positive transformation within their communities and spheres of influence.

Understanding our worth and purpose, as outlined in Ephesians 2:10, unlocks a profound sense of fulfillment and joy. It provides a solid foundation for navigating life's challenges and uncertainties, knowing that we are embraced by God's unwavering love and equipped to make a meaningful difference in the world.

In conclusion, Ephesians 2:10 carries a timeless truth that resonates with believers. It calls us to recognize our identity as God's masterpieces and embark on a journey of love, service, and faithfulness. Let's heed the message of this verse and strive to live out God's intended purpose for our lives, actively seeking opportunities to spread kindness, make a positive impact, and bring glory to His name.

Ephesians 2:10 is the basis for today's song lyrics, which have been adapted into three distinct musical styles.

Confronting Fear Limitations: Identifying Fear

When I was younger, I had a dream—a specific career path I believed would define my purpose and bring me fulfillment. However, that dream collided with a parental restriction that I didn’t fully understand at the time. The tension between my personal aspirations and my dad’s decision was frustrating, but looking back, I see how God was shaping me through it.

Fear of being misunderstood and the overwhelming desire for independence made me question my identity. But here’s the truth: aligning with God’s order doesn’t diminish your authenticity—it strengthens it. My dad’s decision, though difficult to accept, taught me a lesson in trust, obedience, and reliance on God’s plan, even when it doesn’t align with my own.

This journey helped me confront fear in a new way—not fear of failure, but fear of limitations. I learned that God’s purpose for us isn’t hindered by external restrictions but by internal resistance. We often mask our struggles, trying to pretend we’re unaffected, but healing and growth come when we identify our fears and face them with faith.

Call to Action:

Spend time in prayer, asking God to reveal any areas of fear or resistance in your heart. Write down your aspirations and compare them with God’s promises. Surrender your desires to Him, trusting that His plans are always for your good.

Chosen: Embracing Your Identity in Christ

Being chosen by God is a profound truth that gives our lives meaning and purpose. 1 Peter 2:9 declares:“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? To be chosen means that God handpicked you, not by accident, but with…

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.
