The Great Expectation: Our Identity - 13 Jul 2008

 

We know that the word Christian actually means Christ-like.  However, does the body of Christ have an understanding of how to walk this out?

The identity that God calls us to causes us to separate from things that offend His character.  If Jesus is the Life, then all else is death.  If Jesus is the Truth, then all else is deception.  Jesus Himself claims to be THE WAY.  You can look at the 26 other so-called Holy Books (including the Koran, Bhagavad Gita, Talmud, etc) and you'll see that no other religious prophet claimed to be the way.  However, Jesus' identity was so crucial that God Himself had to reveal it to Simon Peter.  

If Jesus Christ doubted for a second who He was, then He would not have been able to do the things he did.  And if we doubt the power we have in Christ - power to say no to ungodliness in this present evil age, power to surrender all that we have to the King of kings, power to be a walking epistle and inspire our generation to live a life worthy of what the True and Living God suffered and endured for us at Calvary - if we doubt this power we must ask ourselves, "do we really believe?"

Listen as Pastor Cox helps Christians everywhere to understand the implications of what being a Christian really means.  Let's take our identity back church!
