Changing Your World

Knowing our identity in Christ elevates our lives to a whole new level. Jesus’ death and resurrection defeated sin, brought reconciliation to all of humanity, and defined who we are in Him. Under grace, sin isn’t about what we do, but about being out of sync with our true identity as God’s sons and daughters. We’ve been made holy and righteous without us having to earn this status by our performance. Being aware of what has already been done for us protects us from the enemy’s lies and attacks.

In these last days, we need to be aware of God’s presence in our lives. Being ignorant of Him is too high of a price to pay when it comes to our resurrection. Before we were born again, we didn’t think smart; we were unaware of God and therefore focused on sin. Accepting Jesus Christ and the blood sacrifice He made for us allows God to begin renewing our minds and our thought processes so that we can think like Him.

Having the perfect and complete faith of Jesus Christ gives us an advantage over religious people who rely on their own imperfect faith. This kind of faith is based on His finished works and does not depend on our own works or self-efforts. In Christ, everything that we previously struggled with has been completed; we have already been healed, saved, and made prosperous, righteous, and victorious over issues in life. We can confidently rest in this knowledge

Correctly dividing God’s Word of faith is essential for us if we ‘e to avoid falling into the trap of self-effort in our belief. Having faith in God could lead us to think that we must do something to develop our own faith; this is different than having the faith of God, which He offers to us as a gift with no need to earn it. We receive this gift when we receive Jesus, who is a reflection of God’s faith in human form.

A proper interpretation of the Bible is essential if we as believers are to be effective in sharing the Gospel of Grace. When Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission, He meant it in a broader sense of simply traveling to a physical location to spread the Word we have been given; He meant incorporating it into everything we do as part of our everyday lives.

Reading the New Testament requires that we read it through the lens of the finished works of Jesus Christ.

Knowing the connection between our belief and our actions helps us to understand how they both fit together in our service to others. We must never minimize the power of faith; we don’t have to add our own self-effort to faith to get it to work for us. Our works are indeed important, but by themselves they don’t justify us before God; they should instead flow out of our faith in His grace. Trusting in Him—not working and striving—makes us righteous.

When we get born again, God immediately declares us righteous because of our belief in Jesus. This is our stance in Christ, independent of our actions. Our behavior certainly does matter, but our actions must come out of our faith in God’s grace; otherwise, they’re empty works. We could never earn our righteousness or our salvation; we received them as gifts because we believed. Just like Abraham, God sees us as righteous when trust in Him—not in ourselves—for the motivation behind the things we do.
