Identity Theft | Episode 4 | Identity in Christ

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the fourth episode of "Identity Theft," Duane Sheriff teaches about our new identity in Christ and its importance for today's generation. He stresses that our children and grandchildren face an identity crisis fueled by a culture that promotes confusion and chaos. This crisis is misleading young minds and targeting their very purpose and destiny. As Christians, we must protect our children's identities and teach them their true identity in Jesus.

Our spiritual identity transforms from being tied to Adam, as described in Romans 5:14, to being renewed in Christ. Duane explains that while we inherit sin and death through Adam, we gain righteousness and new life through Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). This new creation is not just a theological idea but a real change in our spirit.

Recognizing ourselves and others through the lens of Christ's spirit rather than the flesh is crucial. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 highlights that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has passed away, and new life has begun. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 explains the transformation of the spirit, soul, and body, urging believers to renew their minds and live out their new identity in Christ."

Duane encourages parents and grandparents to be proactive in teaching their children these truths to ensure they understand their worth and purpose in Jesus.
