The New You

My Pastor started a series on our new life in Christ.  We often struggle with our identity because we let the world define us by our jobs, location, etc; but, what really defines us should be our life IN CHRIST.  Nothing can change or affect our identity IN CHRIST.

In our new life, we have an inner battle with our old sinful nature.  To help "win the war", we can:

  • Direct our thoughts to the highest level
  • Discipline our minds to focus on God's great plans for us, not the world's
  • Daily live out our new identity in Christ
  • Deal a death blow to the old self
  • Dismiss the old ways of thoughts and actions
