Image and Identity Part 3: Source of Identity
We turn to Jesus as the source of our identity. He’s our anchor.
Image and Identity Part 2: Need to be Redeemed
Our worth and value are inherent in our being made in the image of God. It was given to us. It isn’t earned. We need a redeemer.
Image and Identity Part 1: Imago Dei
We find our identity in being made in the image of God.
unconditional, redeeming love
When God says, “I will forgive them for leaving me and will love them freely”, He means it. Don’t sit in the feeling that comes when you leave. Recognize your sin, get up, turn toward Him, and accept the forgiveness and acceptance that was already given to you by God through Jesus. Do it a hundred times a day if you must. He’s waiting with his unconditional, redeeming love.
Uncertainty is Certain
When we depend on God rather than people, we have deep roots that bring us all we need - that keep us from worrying and give us confidence. That bring us peace and calm and assurance.
