Quote:
“Identity theft is not a phenomenon unique to the 21st century. Satan has been stealing our identity in Christ since the garden.” Sinclair Ferguson

You can call yourself a Christian, but it ends up simply being a declaration about yourself instead of being a demonstration about your life in Christ.

I. A REMINDER OF WHO WE ARE

Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Sin can still overpower us when we are not submitting to the power of Christ.

The power to live a victorious life is not found in your study but through your submission to Christ.

II. THE RESPONSIBILITY WE HAVE
A. Our position affects our disposition
B. Our position alters our perspective
C. Our position dictates our priority

Jesus did not give his life so He could be first on your list. He is to be the center of your life.

III. REMEMBER WHERE OUR LIFE IS FOUND

II Corinthians 13:5
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”

I Corinthians 10:16, 17
“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.”
