TOPIC: Recognize Your New Identity (Rhapsody of Realities 7 August 2022)
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:23-24).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:
When you were born again, you were recreated in righteousness and true holiness. Unlike the unregenerate man, youâre completely awakened to the fatherhood of God; youâre alive to Him. 1 John 3:2 says, âBeloved, now are we the sons of GodâŠ.â Youâre in a sonship relationship with the Lord; youâre born of Him. Thatâs the meaning of 1 John 4:4: âYe are of God, little childrenâŠâ; you hail from Him; your origin is in Him. Hallelujah!

Peter calls us partakers of the divine nature (associates of the God-kind). Youâve put on the God- nature, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of God that created you (Colossians 3:10). This is your true identity. Walk in this light. Youâre not the same person you were before you were born again. Thatâs why the Bible says, âTherefore, if anyone is in Messaiah, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and-look!-all things have become newâ (2 Corinthians 5:17 ISV).
The old sin-nature was supplanted with Godâs life of righteousness. People may still associate you with some of the wrong things you did before you were born again, but the truth is the person that did those things doesnât exist anymore. What the Bible says about you now is that you are washed, sanctified, justified, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for my new nature and identity in Christ; Iâve been washed, sanctified, justified, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Holy Spirit. I walk in the reality of the new life of righteousness, which Iâve received in Christ, producing fruits and works of righteousness, in Jesusâ Name. Amen.

Romans 6:5-7 (KJV)
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
