Identity in Christ: Leaving Sin Behind and Following Jesus

What happens to our identity when we follow Jesus Christ? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how the gospel transforms the believer's identity. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Luke 9:23, this episode explores what it means to become a new creation in Christ, why believers are no longer defined by sin, and how Christian discipleship involves repentance and ongoing transformation. Christians do not lose who they are when they come to Christ. Rather, they are redeemed, restored, and increasingly conformed to the image of Christ. Discover what the Bible teaches about identity in Christ, spiritual transformation, and living faithfully as a disciple of Jesus.
