Dr Adrian Bury's blog
Christian theology, basic teachings, apologeticsWho am I in Christ?
Based on the leaflet Meine Identität from the Freiheit in Christus ministry. I thought this was worth sharing.
My Identity
“An understanding of your identity in Christ is absolutely fundamental to living a victorious and balanced life in Christ.”
Dr. Neil T. Anderson
SATAN’S LIE // GOD’S TRUTH
You are a sinner, because you sin sometimes // You are a saint, declared righteous by God, who sins sometimes
Your identity is determined by what you have done // Your identity is determined by what God has done for you
Your identity is determined by what people say about you // Your identity is determined by what God says about you
Your behaviour determines what you believe about yourself // Your behaviour is determined by what you believe about yourself
Dr. Timothy Warner
