Identity Theft | Episode 18 | Scripture

In the eighteenth episode of "Identity Theft," Duane Sheriff teaches how to understand our new identity in Christ. Just as Jesus discovered who He was through the scriptures and the Holy Spirit, we must also seek our true identity in the Bible. Jesus understood His purpose as the Messiah through ancient Hebrew scriptures. Believers should search the scriptures to learn who they are in Jesus. By following the Spirit and not weak, fleshly desires, we can overcome sin and live in righteousness. 

Human strength or wisdom is insignificant compared to God's wisdom and strength. God often chooses the weak and despised to show His power and glory. Pride and self-righteousness hinder many from seeing their need for God. True strength comes from acknowledging our weaknesses and relying on God's power. Live by the Spirit, understand God's righteousness, and reject the fleshly desires to reflect His love and justice in the world.
