Freedom: Discovering Your Identity in Christ
“Freed”
John 8:32 & Ephesians 1:3-14
Behind every sin is a lie; behind every lie is a fear.
I am not who others say I am, I am who God says I am.
1. I am chosen, predestined, loved, and adopted.
I am freed from the fear of rejection.
I am freed to love God and people.
2. I am redeemed, forgiven, and grace.
I am freed from the fear of inadequacy.
I am freed to give grace to others.
3. I am included, secure, and forever identified as God’s own.
I am freed from the fear of insecurity.
I am freed to trust and be vulnerable.
Real freedom comes when we learn to live in the truth of what God says.
