Who I Am
-Who I am before Salvation
-What Jesus did at my salvation
-What happens after salvation
Ephesians 2:4-10
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
What you were…
1.DEAD
2.DRIFTING
3.DISOBEDIENT
4.DRIVEN BY DESIRE
5. DESTINED FOR DESTRUCTION
What God did at Salvation
1. He resurrected us.
2. He raised us.
3. He reinstated our royalty.
Romans 6:6-11
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
The same power that God worked in Christ is the same power given to those who are in Christ.
