Tonight's scripture all revolved around our identity in Christ. What makes a Christian a Christian? Is being good, good enough to be called a Christian? Perhaps going to church or giving monies to charities? Exactly what differentiates a Christian from a Protestant or catholic?
We become Christians when we put our trust in Christ's finished work. When that happens, several things take place:
- We pass from death to life.
- We are conformed in Christ's image.
- We now have permission to call God Abba, Father.
- We have a new name "God's children"
- We become part of the Body of Christ.
There was much discussion on who we are, and how our lives reflect that. Give a listen!
