Not My Own
Lesson 3: My Identity Is _ Not My Own
September 25, 2022
1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. New International Version
Most of your problems as a Christian come from the gap between how God sees you and how YOU see you.
1 Peter 2:10 “Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people…” New Living Translation
#1 I AM A CHILD OF GOD.
John 1:12 “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…” English Standard Version
#2 I AM ROYALTY.
Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. New International Version
Your ROYALTY shapes your REALITY
ROYALTY comes with RIGHTS
1 Peter 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our LordJesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born againto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heavenfor you…” English Standard Version
ROYALTY comes with RESPONSIBILITIES
Luke 22:27-30 “Who would you rather be: the one who eats the dinner or the one who serves the dinner? You’d rather eat and be served, right? But I’ve taken my place among you as the one who serves. Now I confer on you the royal authority my Father conferred on me so you can eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and be strengthened as you take up responsibilities among the congregations of God’s people.
