Identity Series – Who am I as a Christian?

Identity Series
Who am I as a Christian?

Who are you as a Christian?  Who are you meant to be?  How do you become the person God wants you to become?

We look to the book of Ephesians for the answers to these important questions and much more.

The book of Ephesians is an Epistle (letter) from Paul to the Christians of Ephesus–a small Greek town on the coast of Ionia.  In this letter, written several decades after the death and resurrection of Jesus, Paul teaches practical application of the gospel in a new age of Christianity.

Over 2,000 years later, these lessons are still relevant.  They set guidelines for how we, as Christians, are supposed to act as a diverse, but unified, global community of fathers, mothers, children, and brothers and sisters in Christ.  They teach us what it means to be a child of God, a member of the body of Christ, a fisher of men, part of the new chosen people, and even a soldier in God’s army.

I Am: In Christ

In the Book of Ephesians, Paul further says that as Christians, we are privileged to be what he calls “in Christ.” He uses some form of this expression some 216 times in his letters. In comparison, the term “Christian” is used a mere three times throughout the entire New Testament. So what is Paul trying to say to each of us who are?
