Our Identity in Christ
You are a new creation in Christ. As we grow in grace and the Holy Spirit works in us we will see this coming through in our lives. While we do not reach perfection in this life we are confronted with our sin, comforted with the gospel, and God grants us the gift of repentance to love and serve him in his world. As we journey through this life may we come to embrace our identity in Jesus and never doubt who we are or whose we are.
Our Identity in Christ
This is why it is so important that we know the Word of God. If we are to understand who we are and to grow in holiness, we must prepare ourselves with the means by which God has ordained our sanctification. God the Holy Spirit does not work in a us in a random or haphazard way. The Spirit works through Word and sacrament to do this good work in us. This is why it is so vital that we are in God's Word and attending Lord's Day worship.
