Living Out Our Identity in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 12:2; 41:10 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. So, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (NIV)

#1—Ephesians 4:17-32

• Take off the old
• Put on the new
• We are not captive of our past
• Old Things have been “taken away”

#2—Colossians 3:12-17

• Stop wallowing in your past
• How we treat others is not based on how they treat us

#3—Philippians 4:4-9

• How we treat others will flow out of our newness
• Miserable people make people miserable
• What goes in will come out

#4—1 Corinthians 1:26-31

• Chosen by God
• God has given us tasks to do
• God cannot bless things outside the realm of righteousness
• There are times when God is asking us to be obedient without understanding why

• Salt preserves
• Salt flavors
• Salt purifies and heals
• Salt cannot be compromised
• Light guides
• Light drives darkness away
