Ripping the Labels

Many Christians are confused because of the difference they see between who they are (their new identity in Christ) and what they experience in their daily lives. We have been programmed by our experiences and environment to believe certain things to be true about ourselves whether they are true or not. As Christians, we entered into a new relationship with God that guarantees us a new identity—a new label. For many, their lifestyle and behavior reflects more of their old label than their new label in Christ. This is because we must know and believe who God has made us to be in order to change what we do.
