Imprint: Living Out My Identity As A Child Of God
INTRO: (Me)
Who are you?
In answering that question what name do you pick?
Mom, dad, friend, neighbor or job occupation.
Those titles imprint on your life and set boundaries to live out your identity.
I’m a husband.
Ill: Wedding Day = identity crisis!
Married, husband and wife.
Two single people and have come together.
BOOM - I’m a husband.
My identity changed.
No longer single!
To think, feel and act like a husband took me awhile.
If I didn’t make that course adjustment my life would be crisis.
We: That is what happens to every person that becomes a Christ-follower.
You get a new identity.
If that truth doesn’t imprint on your life you will be in a identity crisis.
Ephesians/Background
Ephes
We are no longer living in the old nature we are living in a new nature.
Even if we don’t feel new or think that we are new.
God: God wants us to understand who we are in Him.
God wants us to see ourselves as He sees us.
He has given us a new identity.
When we grasp this our thoughts and attitudes change.
It affect our perspective.
We cannot act inconsistent with how we view ourselves.
It’s dangerous to get married and act like a single person.
Frustration = being a Christ-Follower and not understanding who we are.
One of the identities God imprints on us is CHILD OF GOD
For us to fully understand this we have to go back to creation.
Arg: Why aren’t more people like God?
You were created to be like God not to be a God.
You have the nature of God.
The capability to love and be loved, to know and be known, to care and be cared for.
Fall of man.
Adam/Sin messed up their identity.
Genesis 5:1-
Ill: Cheryl - you are just like Francis.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Ex: Because sin entered the world, we were born not in the likeness of God but in the likeness of our parents.
That is why we struggle.
That is why we deal with drama and “stuff” because we are not born physically like God.
When we accept Christ The OLD IS GONE - my dad’s nature the NEW - God’s nature.
HOW DO YOU
God wants us to grasp the change.
The change from being a physical son to a spiritual son.
From being born in my father’s sinful likeness to my heavenly Father’s holiness.
I’m a child of God.
I’m a son or daughter.
Trans - To live out the identity Christ imprinted on us we have to live out two traits.
One trait deals with our position and the other is our privilege.
HOW DO YOU GET INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD?
You are spiritually born into the family of God.
(Position in Christ)
New birth deals with your POSITION in Christ.
Being born again is believing in Jesus.
That He is who he said He was and that He will do what He promised to do.
He came to earth born of a virgin > lived a sinless life > died on a cross > rose again > now I confess He is Lord and I invite Him into my life.
He makes my spirit alive.
New birth deals with our position.
God sees me as his child.
Not my behavior but my birth.
Forgiven - totally, all my sin?
Yes!!! Omission & Comission.
God was our sub.
God took out His anger on Jesus.
God treated MARK HUNNICUTT like Jesus because He treated JESUS like MARK HUNNICUTT.
I’m a shameless man because of my forgiveness.
I don’t have to deal with guilt and shame.
And because you are forgiven you don’t have to either.
Accepted - God knows the worst about you yet He loves you.
It’s not based on your behavior but based on your belief.
Jesus lived, died and rose again.
No condemnation!
ACCEPTED!!
Ill: What ever happens in your life will not change God’s love for you.
It just changes what we talk about.
When God changes the conversation don’t fill rejected or condemned.
God is wanting to talk to you.
God’s conversion doesn't change but the conversation does.
Complete - you are enough.
When we accept Christ we lack nothing.
This is the missing piece that will give you peace.
Nothing will give me more peace than Jesus.
What would happen if you allow God to imprint this identity on your soul?
You are His child and you are forgiven, accepted and complete.
This would change you life!
Your daily life would FLIP from -
GUILT/FORGIVENESS
REJECTED/ACCEPTED
INADEQUATE/COMPLETE
Trans - To live out the identity Christ imprinted on us we have to live out two traits.
One trait deals with our position and the other is our privilege.
2.
You are legally adopted into the family of God.
(Privilege in Christ)
Adoption deals with your PRIVILEGE in Christ.
Roman law meant that you had the right to the name and the citizenship of the person who adopted you, and the right to inherit his property.
The adopted son had the same rights and privileges as a naturally born son.
