At the moment of salvation, your image was forever changed from the old man into the image of Jesus. On this side of the cross, when God looks at us, He sees His Son - who is the perfect representation of what God imagined when He made man in His image. We don’t all look the same because He sees Jesus in us. God is able to see us individually and uniquely in Christ. When we see Him as He really is, we become more like him. Transformation comes through beholding who God really is.

We were not an afterthought or last minute choice because God couldn’t find someone better. God’s true identity is always OUR starting point, but being accepted in the B...
Who do you think you are? It can be a question of self-accusation, or an entry point into a new level of confidence in your identity in Christ. Every challenge you face to your true identity in Christ can be your entry point to a new level of relationship with Him, and a discovery of who you rea...
Upgrading our spiritual lens and setting our minds on things above is not a one time experience, it’s continual. Outdated, old man habits default to worry and shame. We can’t process our New Man identity through the obsolete system of old covenant beliefs. Upgrading our identity requires that we...
