On Sunday, Pastor Eric shared with us out of Ephesians 4 and the call Paul lays out to the readers of his letter. By the time we get to chapter 4, we learn the world around them told them, they were of no value. God said “You’re chosen”. While the culture around them rejected Christianity, God said “You are my sons and daughters”. While the society around them cut off all access and ability to become a citizen, God said “You are citizens of my Kingdom”. God is bigger than our story.
Then Paul drops a challenge to the Ephesians, “Stop acting like you used to be”. He is essentially teaching us now that you're accepted, loved, and belong to God’s family. You no longer need to act like you used to. He is pulling us out of our old identity and showing us our new identity. When you embrace your new identity from God, it changes the way you think, live, and act. Listen to this talk to learn that the one of the keys to moving into your new identity can be found in the feedback from the people around you.
