We might even wear a bracelet to remind ourselves to \u2018do what Jesus would do\u2019. Some will agree that Jesus \u2018lives\u2019 inside of their \u2018heart\u2019 while others will acknowledge that they have become a different person. However, very few understand or can explain the width, the height or the depth of what it means to have become this new creation. I know a few listening today understand the new birth and the resultant union with Christ, but you have never known or understood God\u2019s full intent and purpose for that union. Last week we discussed the box identity &#8211; our conforming identity when our soul relates to our flesh. This week I want to discuss the new creation identity &#8211; a transforming, spirit\/soul identity that is ours the moment that we receive and believe on the person of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 February 11th Streaming This week we will continue in our series\u00a0The Box &#8211; A Tale of Two Identities Part 2: &#8220;Your Second Identity &#8211; The New Creation \u2013 Your Identity As The Son of God&#8221;.\u00a0We live within our box identities, believing that we have accepted Jesus into our hearts to make us better people, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-david-kenebrew"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1598"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1601,"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1598\/revisions\/1601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inchristmessage.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
