1 John: Episode 13: Identity Defined

from Back Porch Bible Studies · host Debra Ghysels

Who are you because of whose you are? In this episode of Back Porch Bible Podcast, we continue our Abide & Thrive study through 1 John and explore the powerful truth of our identity as children of God. In 1 John 3:1–10, John invites us to stand in awe of the Father’s love—a love that doesn’t just forgive us but welcomes us into His family. We explore: • What it means to truly belong to God • The tension between who we are now and who we will become • How future hope shapes present transformation • Why sin and our new identity cannot comfortably coexist • How abiding in Christ reveals our family resemblance If you’ve ever struggled with identity, belonging, or wondering how faith changes everyday life, this conversation will encourage you to rest in the truth: You are not an orphan—you are a beloved child of God.
