Moses and David both asked during their lifetime "Who am I"? I hear and have a burden for a lot of young men and young ladies today that seem to be going through an identity crises because of this world's requirements to be something they are not. When they come to the realization that in order to be accepted then they must conform to something that they truly aren't, only to be frustrated and destroyed because of it. I thought to myself a lot when I was a teenager who am I, unfortunately I was not raised in church, nor knew the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I was saved when I was 23 years old, only then did I earnestly know who I was. Today I can say without a doubt that I am accepted, loved and redeemed. I wanted to share a few thoughts of who I am just in case anybody might have been blinded as to what has taken place in their life. The question today is not how to confront conformity, but just accepting who you are and how you can be transformed.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
In order to have the desire to do the will of God, you must first know the Son....
1. I am Redeemed of the Lord
- I have a father in heaven who accepts me because of the Lord Jesus Christ
- I have a friend in Jesus
- I have a family of believers
2. A new Creature in Christ Jesus
- Renewed in mind
- Renewed in motive
- Renewed in my soul
3. A servant to the Lord
- For the propagation of the Gospel
- For the purpose of seeing sinners saved
- For the price that was paid--my reasonable service
