Change Your Identity To In Christ identity-in-christ Your identity is what determines your behavior. Not the other way around where it might appear that your behavior determines your identity. The only way your behavior can determine who you are is if you fall for the deception of the devil. This is where he wants you to believe that you're unworthy of Christ.

appreciation to the four Philippians: Timothy, Epaphroditus, Euodia, and Syntyche. He gives thanks to each of them and expresses his deep appreciation of their love for Christ and their sharings of support to Paul’s ministry. In Philippians 2:21 Paul speaks upon the ones who only look out for the interest of themselves, but not of Christ first. While on the other hand Timothy as Paul states, “But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.”…

resurrection of Jesus Christ. Writing from before Jesus’ birth to about AD 85, each author had a particular style to communicate the life and meaning of Jesus. Though the methods may differ, each Gospel writer’s main purpose was to call people to faith (Elwell and Yarbrough 59). The book of Matthew was originally written for the Jews and presents Jesus as the Son of David and Abraham (64).

Philippians 2:1-11 shows the nature and extent of the humility of Jesus Christ. We are to follow Christ’s example of humility in our own lives. “Paul says believers should live in unity, humility, and selflessness. He then gives Jesus Christ as the supreme example by which believers should live.” (Towns & Gutiérrez, 525). When Jesus was on earth, he humbled himself and took the role of a servant. He did not exalt himself as king or boast about his great power and authority. Rather, he let God…

The narrator of Beowulf often compares the hero to Christ in several instances throughout the story, but also presents distinct differences between them in the hero's motives rather than actions. When Beowulf hears of the dragon that destroyed “his own home, / the best of buildings” (Beowulf 2325-2326), he becomes depressed, then furious and plans to seek revenge. When the narrator explains Beowulf's reasoning for his strategy, he describes Beowulf as “too proud / to line up with a large army /…

Still equally separate, Christ and the Holy Spirit become unified in a way where the Holy Spirit now becomes revealed to the world. As understood by O’Collins, Jesus, as the divine Christ and by the power of the resurrection, “…now shares in God’s prerogative as sender and giver of the Spirit” (153). Jesus recognized the necessity of the gift of the Spirit to help lead and guide humanity towards salvation. As such, Jesus Christ was able to send as this special gift, the Holy…

Let’s look at verses 9 and 10 first: “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.” Paul is giving the reason here for not buying into the false teaching. First, Paul establishes that the fullness of God is found in the Gospel that was preached-in Jesus Christ. Paul reminds the Colossians that Jesus Christ came down to earth as fully God and fully man at the same time…

These items, such as devotions, community worship, and prayer assist the Christian in redirecting themselves to Christ. If a disordered love causes issues, interacting with the community can contribute in redirecting that. If a counter-narrative surfaces, both prayer and devotion support in repulsing the narrative. In this, the cultural toolkit is crucial to ensuring the discipleship of Christ, being able to repulse both counter-narratives and the disordered loves of the human…
