(Solving Your Identity Crisis # 2)
Psalm 119
32 I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.
REVIEW
Last week I began a series called “A HEART SET FREE”.
It is a look at our identity in Christ and solving our identity crisis.
We talked about the fact that many things can kick off a crisis such as a passage from one season of life to the next, loss of a loved one, or whatever.
Often we build our identity on the wrong things so we have nothing to fall back on in a time of crisis.
Isn’t the big question in life, WHO AM I AND WHY AM I HERE?
Many people have done many things to try to make their mark or mark their territory.
Everyone needs a purpose and significance.
I am going to go intentionally slow and look at this from several different directions over the next few weeks or so.
It is very important to see and experience the truth about GOD, YOURSELF, and OTHERS.
I love this Scripture because it speaks to me about the real you getting out of the cage of others expectations, and being REAL.
God made you unique for this age and the one to come.
Your identity is shaped by Jesus Christ and expressed in your unique personality and being.
Religion tries to make us feel bad about who we are.
Jesus tells us the truth and releases us to enjoy life and be secure.
It is possible to be humble and confident and secure at the same time.
1 Samuel 16:7 says,
…..”*/Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”/*
*/ /*
Galatians 2:6 says,
“As for those who seemed to be important—whatever they were makes no difference to me; */God does not judge by external appearance/*—those men added nothing to my message.”
Proverbs 23:7 NASB
“ */For as he thinks within himself, so he is.”/*
*/ /*
Maxwell said, “*/You cannot consistently perform in a manner that is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.”/*
*/ /*
-We looked at the REASON why God did what He did.
The Bible calls that */THE ETERNAL PURPOSE/*.
That tells us WHY.
-We looked at the METHOD God used to get us back to Him.
That is called */THE MYSTERY OF THE AGES.
/*That tells us how.
-God is planning to use us as an object lesson of His goodness for eternity.
Your job description according to Romans 9 is to be an */OBJECT OF HIS MERCY./*
*/ /*
-We looked at the coming of Jesus as Messiah from the perspective of demons who didn’t understand it, prophets who tried to understand it, angels who long to understand it, and even the apostles who misinterpreted it.
-We are the recipients of the master plan of God.
He has poured out His love for us and demonstrated His love for us by Jesus dying for us.
-I want to focus today on what specifically it means to have Christ in us.
Colossians 1
25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fulness--
26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.
27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles */the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory./*
28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
29 To this end I labour, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
!
CHRIST IN YOU
-What specifically does it mean to have Christ in You?
-The key is not to look at yourself to find yourself.
*/You can never find out who you are in Christ until you find out who Christ is in you./*
*/ /*
-The key is to recognize that our identity is hidden.
Ephesians 3
9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept */hidden in God/*, who created all things.
-The mystery was hidden for us, not from us.
Col 3:3-4
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
When */Christ, who is your/* {Some manuscripts our} */life,/* appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.}
(NIV)
Php 1:21 ¶ For to me*/, to live is Christ/* and to die is gain.
(NIV)

HOW DO WE GET A FALSE IDENTITY?~/STOP
ASKING THE WORLD WHO YOU ARE.
-It is based on the world, sometimes even the Christian world.
Lu 12:15 Then he said to them, "Watch out!
Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
*/ /*
NLT
15Then he said, "Beware!
Don't be greedy for what you don't have.
Real life is not measured by how much we own."
\\ \\
-False identity is measuring ourselves by the criteria of the world:
AM I PRETTY?
AM I RICH?
AM I TRENDY?
AM I POPULAR?
DO PEOPLE SEE ME AS SPIRITUAL?
Romans 12:2 NLT
2Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
-Jeremiah was told to DIG UP then PLANT.
-Don’t let someone else define you.
-Amazingly we take the pulse of our 9th grade class to see if we are valuable!!
-Even as Christians we can be based who we are on worldly things.
-Carnal Christians are body ruled.
-That’s why I was confused with crummy Christians.
-Walking down the isle and receiving Jesus doesn’t guarantee a model Christian.
-Not everyone is a good example.
*/1Co 5:12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church?
Are you not to judge those inside?/*
*/ /*
-Look at the fruit of someone’s life before you follow their example.
-Paul said to */follow me while I follow Christ/*.

LOOK AT JESUS
-Example of Peter with Jesus who am I – this is who you are.
2 Corinthians 3
6 ¶ He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant-- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was,
8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
9 If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!
10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.
11 And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
12 ¶ Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away.
