In Christ

Pastor Jacob Aranza

July 14, 2024

Main Idea

The main idea of Pastor's message was that being 'in Christ' transforms us from our old selves into a new creation. He stressed that our past does not define us; rather, our identity in Christ does. By being born again, we move from death to life, leaving behind the spiritual death associated with being 'in Adam.' This rebirth grants us a perfect relationship with God, access to His kindness, and the joy of experiencing His glory.

Scripture References

John 3:1-6, 1 Corinthians 15:21-23, 2 Corinthians 5:15-17, Romans 5:1-2

Our adversary tirelessly tries to define us by our past, but in Christ, we are defined by our new, righteous identity.

Discussion Questions:

Faith in Jesus not only changes our status but also transfers God's righteousness to us, making us flawless in His eyes.

Summary

Last Sunday, Pastor spoke to us about transitioning from 'Regret to Righteousness,' emphasizing that our spiritual journey begins the moment we are born again. He reminded us that we are either 'in Adam' and spiritually dead or 'in Christ' and a new creation. Through faith in Jesus, we receive God's righteousness, become flawless in His eyes, and enjoy true peace with God. Our identity as born again, spirit-filled, blood-washed children of God is crucial to overcoming our past and embracing our new life in Christ.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Embrace your new identity in Christ and let go of the past that no longer defines you.

Celebrate your rebirth and the peace with God that comes from being 'in Christ'.
