25-303: Embracing Your Identity in Christ
Manage episode 516689947 series 3314456
TODAY’S LESSON
Identity is the battlefield beneath every other battle. If the enemy can confuse who you are, he can control how you live. Christ ended that confusion at the cross. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” (2 Corinthians 5:17). New creation doesn’t mean renovated sinner; it means regenerated daughter—reborn into a royal household with rights, responsibilities, and a name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The world hands out labels like price tags—single, married, divorced, successful, stuck, pretty, plain. God cancels them with one word: Mine. When you live from that name, insecurity begins to starve. You stop performing for acceptance and start producing from acceptance. Your parenting shifts from fear to faith. Your marriage shifts from scorekeeping to serving. Your work shifts from chasing relevance to carrying presence.
Burn the false scripts: “I’m too much.” “I’m not enough.” “I’m behind.” Heaven isn’t wringing its hands about your timeline; the Author is still writing. You are not your trauma, not your triumphs, not your titles. You are blood-bought, Spirit-filled, and called. Walk like it. Talk like it. Pray like it. When condemnation tries to sit in your passenger seat, show it the receipt—Paid in Full.
📖 SCRIPTURE ANCHOR
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) — “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
💡 LIVING PRINCIPLE
You don’t strive for identity; you live from it.
⚔️ DAILY ACTION
Write every false label you’ve worn on paper—and burn it (safely). Replace it with three truths: Daughter. Redeemed. Sent.
✅ PRACTICE (Do This...)
* Start each day with: “Abba, I belong to You.”
* Enter rooms as an ambassador, not an applicant.
* Correct self-talk with Scripture immediately.
💥 CHALLENGE OF THE DAY
Call or text one woman and speak identity over her destiny—specific, biblical, and bold.
🙏 PRAYER
Father, root me in who You say I am. Uproot lies, label me with truth, and let my life echo Heaven’s verdict: Beloved. In Jesus’ name, amen.
🔥 IN CLOSING
Hell can’t handle a woman who knows her name in Christ. Wear it loud.
