1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Today message is to remind you of who you are in Christ.
Today message is to remind you of who you are in Christ.
Not who you will be
Or what you are trying to become, but who you are today, right now.
Knowing who you are
++Changes your perspective
++Changes your attitude
++Changes everything
There is nothing more troubling than a life without purpose.
God created everything
++For a purpose
++With an end in mind
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
God Knows Everything
From the beginning
He knows the end
He declares it
Isaiah 46:
Isaiah 46:9-10
9 Remember the former things of old: For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times the things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all my pleasure:

God Created Us
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Man was created
Image of God
Authority from God
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Much of the Bible
is not about getting
is not about becoming
is about understanding
It is a revelation of who you are
Sin changed a lot of things.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom
Sin brought Death (Separation)
++God’s Relationship with Man
++Man’s relationship with Man
++Man’s Relationship to this world
Sin changed a lot of things
It did not change
It did not change
++God
++God’s Plan for us
++Who he created us to be
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Don’t believe Satan’s Lie
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Don’t believe Satan’s Lie
Don’t believe Satan’s Lie
Don’t believe Satan’s Lie
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Knowing your God
++is not an activity issue
++it is an Identity issue
++
When God is revealed
++Situations change
++Our eyes are open
1 john
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: But now mine eye seeth thee.
Job 42:
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Roman
We walk by faith not by sight in order for that which is of faith might be seen.
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Faith never operates in isolation
Faith never operates in Isolation
Faith never operates in Isolation
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
Faith must have an expression
Expressed in excellence
Knowledge
Temperance
Patience
godliness
He
kindness
charity
Without an expression faith is dead.
By works faith is made perfect
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1 corinthians 10:1-2
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
1 cor 10-1-5
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
1 Cor 5:17
Because of Christ
I have opportunity
I have a new start
The old has gone
The new has come
I am Complete
