Identity In Christ (BC-110)

About this course

Knowing your identity in Christ Jesus will change the way you live your life. Discover and apply these truths to live the life that Jesus has for you.

Who are you? What is your identity? Most of us create our sense of identity based on our heritage, our culture, our education, achievements, people’s opinions about us, and so on. Our sense of self-worth, our self-image, and how we live life stem out of our identity.

The Bible teaches us that when we are born again, we become a new creation. We are people with a brand-new identity, spiritually. Discovering and embracing this new identity in Christ is crucial for a believer to live the victorious Christian life.

In this course, you will discover who you are in Christ, the rich inheritance that is yours and how to live out of this new life and identity in Christ. Learning and applying this truth will change your life completely – the way you see yourself, the way you relate to God, the way you relate to others, the way you face life’s challenges, and the way you face demonic powers. Who you are in Christ is who you really are!

What you will learn

There are over 130 Scriptures in the New Testament that speak directly about who we are in Christ. Most of these have the “in Christ”, “in Him”, “in whom” phrase and the others speak about what we have become or what has been given to us as new creation.
