Lesson 14 Experiencing Unity and Identity with Jesus
Questions 1 and 2
Greetings and welcome back!
For the next several lessons, we are going to be combining all three spiritual truths that are the foundations of freedom. We will study what it means to find unity with Christ and to find our identity in Christ. We study this because human beings operate out of their identities; that is, we live like who we believe ourselves to be.
Question 1. What are the three foundational principles of freedom that we are looking at in this course?
One of the devil’s most powerful tactics for keeping people enslaved is to convince us to find our identity in our temptations and the desires of our flesh. For once we begin to see our identity in that way, we can be enslaved to sin for life. After all, we think, “It’s just who I am! Once an addict, always an addict!”
Many groups teach people to say things like this: “Hello, my name is Mike, and I’m an alcoholic”, or “I identify as a _______ (fill in the blank)”. But the problem with doing this is that it forces us to identify with a particular temptation, plaguing thought or sinful behavior.
Question 2. Have you associated your identity with a particular sin struggle in the past? Please share your thoughts
