“What We Are - Where We Are - What We Have - What We Can Do Because of Jesus”:

Unlocking the New Covenant: Discovering Our Identity in Christ

On the eve of His crucifixion, Jesus established the new covenant, declaring, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:28). This covenant reveals powerful benefits based on better promises. Let’s explore what it means for believers:

1. New Creation: In Christ, we become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17).
2. Completeness: We find fullness in Him (Ephesians 2:5).
3. Masterpiece: God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).
4. Children of God: We are His children (1 John 3:1, John 1:12).
5. Righteousness: Clothed in His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:19).
6. Forgiven: All sins forgiven (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 2:13, 1 John 1:7).
7. Accepted: Fully accepted (Ephesians 1:6).
8. Redeemed: Freed from the curse (Galatians 3:13-14).
9. Blessed: Abundantly blessed (Galatians 3:9, Ephesians 1:3).
10. Chosen: Handpicked by God (1 Thessalonians 1:4, Ephesians 1:4).

And so much more! Our identity in Christ empowers us to live above life’s circumstances. Dr. Price delves into this in Part 1, emphasizing faith as the key to appropriating God’s covenant. Remember, Matthew 26:28 sets the backdrop for this transformative series.
