from Abiding Shepherd · host Abiding Shepherd
Who/What Is Shaping Your Life? Where we find our identity, purpose and fulfillment drives our lives. Thankfully, we’ve been given the gift of Sanctification (In the Narrow Sense) which means we get to live with the identity, purpose and fulfillment that God created us to have! 1) As beings who were made by a Creator for a purpose to achieve something significant, our need for identity, purpose and fulfilment is written into our DNA. 2) When we search for our identity, purpose and fulfillment in something other than God, we’ll always miss the mark of what we were meant to be. We’re living as slaves to sin. 3) We were baptized into Christ we died with Him. When He rose we rose. We no longer belong to a way of life that ends in death. We have real life! 4) Through faith in Christ we have been declared right with God. That means we are alive to: a. God, the One who created us to be walking pictures of Him (Identity) b. Purpose (You have been given a life that is truly awe-some as a part of His plan) c. Fulfillment (You’ve been set on the path of life with real, eternal significance) 5.2.21 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nate Abrahamson
