Releasing Your New Identity part II

Unlike the eagle in my last post, we’re all born a praire chicken. We become eagles through Jesus Christ and undergo three fundamental changes.

1. Colossians 2:13-14 “When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.”

Jesus canceled the written code with its regulations. He took our sin away. They are NO MORE!

2. Romans 8:15-16 “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

“We become God’s children and thus heir, co-heirs with Christ. If indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may share in his glory.”

3. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefor, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.”

When we accept Jesus and decide to follow Him, we become new creations. The old has gone. The new has come!

So what happens to us at conversion?
