WHO AM I? WHAT AM I CALLED TO?

What is my Identity “In Christ?”

WHO AM I “IN CHRIST?”

2 Corinthians 5:

16 So from

now on we

regard no one

from a worldly

point of view…

WHO AM I “IN CHRIST?”

2 Corinthians 5:

16 So from now on we

regard no one from a

worldly point of view…

17 Therefore, if anyone

is in Christ, he is a new

creation; the old has

gone, the new has come!

Ephesians 4:

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the

Lord, that you must no longer

live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of

their thinking.

18 They are darkened in their

understanding and separated from the life

of God

because of the ignorance that is in

them due to the hardening of their

hearts.

19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have

given themselves over to sensuality

so as to indulge in every kind of

impurity, with a continual lust for more.

Ephesians 4:

20 You, however, did not come

to know Christ that way.

21 Surely you heard of him and

were taught in him in

accordance with the truth

that is in Jesus.

22 You were taught, with regard

to your former way of life, to put

off your

old self,

which is being corrupted by its

deceitful desires;

Ephesians 4:

23 To be made new in

the attitude of your

minds;

24 And to put on the

new self, created to be like God in

true righteousness and

holiness.

Romans 6

3 Or don't you know that all of us

who were baptized into Christ

Jesus were baptized into his

death?

4 We were therefore buried with

him through baptism into death in

order that, just as Christ was

raised from the dead through the

glory of the Father, we too may

live a new life.

5 If we have been united with

him like this in his death, we will

certainly

also be united with him in his

resurrection.

6 For we know that our old self

was crucified with him so that the

body of sin might be done away

with

Galatians 2

20 I have been crucified with Christ and

I no longer live,

but Christ lives in

me. The life I live in the body, I live by

faith in the Son of God, who

loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 6

14 May I never boast

except in the cross of

our Lord Jesus Christ,

through

which the world has

been crucified to me,

and I to the world.

Colossians 3

1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things

above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on

things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now

hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you

also will appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Colossians 3

4 When Christ, who is your life, appears,

then you also will appear with him in glory.

Romans 7

15 I do not understand

what I do. For what I

want to do I do not do,

but what I hate I do.

16 And if I do what I do

not want to do, I agree

that the law is good.

17 As it is, it is no

longer I myself who do

it, but it is sin living in

me.

Romans 7

18 I know that nothing good

lives in me, that is, in my

sinful nature. For I

have the desire to do what

is good, but I cannot carry it

out.

19 For what I do is not the

good I want to do; no, the evil

I do not want to do

- this I keep on doing.

20 Now if I do what I do not

want to do, it is no longer I

who do it, but it is

sin living in me that does

it.

Me (Old Self)

Sin

Romans 7

21 So I find this law at

work: When I want to do

good, evil is right there

with me.

22 For in my inner

being I delight in God's

law;

Christ

Me (New Self)

Inner Being

Romans 7

23 But I see another

law at work in the

members of my

body, waging war

against

the law of my

mind and making me

a prisoner of the law

of sin at work within

my members.

Me (Old Self)

Sin

Romans 7

24 What a wretched man I am!

Who will rescue me from this

body of death?

25 Thanks be to God - through

Jesus Christ our Lord! So then,

I myself in my

mind am a slave to God's law,

but in the sinful nature a slave to

the law of sin.

Romans 8

1 Therefore, there is now no

condemnation for those who are

in Christ Jesus,

Old

Man

Christ

“The Body

of death”

The Old Man & New

Man are still both called

“ME”

But from God’s

perspective He knows

we will one day be free

from the body and

delivered from the “old

man” all together.

He sees us as “In

Christ” free from the

sinful nature
