The Biggest Victory EVER!!!

Our identity is the biggest victory ever. Many times the Bible asks this question, “who are you?”. They asked Jesus, John the Baptist and others this question.  It is the root of all temptation and until you settle what you are going to believe about you, you will never really experience all that is already yours in Jesus.

The fall of man wasn’t about his disobedience it was about what he did or didn’t believe about himself. If he would have fully believed that he was already “created in the image of God” he would have never fell for the lies of the subtle serpent.

Jesus’ temptation was all around His identity. “If you are the son of God” do this or that. The devil was trying to get Jesus to prove His identity by His performance. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been trapped by that one. After all it’s by faith we are born again and made a new creature.

Our identities are always set from an outside source. God made us that way hoping we would choose Him and allow Him to define us. Now that we have believed the Gospel and been made a new creature we must renew our minds to the truth about our new identity in Jesus. Nothing is more important.

My friend, Pastor Clint Byars has  written a blog to help us all believe the truth about who we really are. Here is a link. I would encourage you to bookmark this page and read it often. Get these New Testament truths into you heart, meditate on them, write them down, do anything you can to renew your mind to the truth that you are “In Christ”
