I Am a Saint (2 of 13)
Ephesians: Who Am I? Discovering Our True Identity
Jordan Easley
Ephesians 1:1-2
Last week we began a new journey together-walking through the book of Ephesians. And as we open God’s word once again... we’re doing so, asking the question... Who am I?
In this letter, Paul is speaking to the church. He’s speaking to believers. And in his message, his primary focus is on their identity as Christians.
So, Christians... let me begin by asking you today... Who are you? How would you define your identity? How does the world see you? How do you see yourself?
One of the greatest tricks the devil plays on Christians today... is convincing us we are something other than who God says we are. He loves planting seeds in our lives... that lead to us having a poor self-image... and an incorrect view of who we are.
I believe there are people in this room who have been saved and are living ‘in Christ’ ... and yet, you still have a distorted imagine of who you are... because the devil has convinced you that you are something other than who God says you are... and that’s a problem. You know what I’ve learned? One mirror isn’t sufficient in seeing who you really are. Think about that...
When you look in a bathroom mirror you see an image of yourself with left and right reversed. If you don’t believe me, next time you’re in the bathroom, extend your right hand and try to shake hands with yourself.
The ‘person’ in the mirror will extend their left hand... try it! A bathroom mirror switches left and right in any image it reflects. You know what that tells me? To see yourself as others do... one mirror isn’t enough... you need a second mirror to undo what the first mirror did.
Here’s how self-image works many times... Our sin distorts who we really are, and Satan’s lies convince us that we’re nothing more than our mistakes. But God sent Jesus to be your second mirror, to reverse what the devil did with that first mirror... He shows ...
