IDENTITY AND IMAGE

2 Corinthians 5:14-20


Your identity begins with Jesus.

Jesus-first changes everything.
(your identity is received and not achieved)

We are all together different.

Your identity drives your purpose.

Because we are in Christ, we live Christ-first in every role and relationship.


GROUP / FAMILY DISCUSSION
What are some labels you would apply to yourself?

What are some labels that have been applied to you by others?

“Identity is the question of our day.” Do you believe this is correct? Why or why not?

How does a Jesus-first identity change all other ways you may identify yourself?

Using a particular role or relationship you are currently in, provide a specific example of how living Jesus-first is different than another person in the same role NOT living Jesus-first?

Read Romans 8:14-17. How does this passage describe our identity in Christ?

According to this passage, what are some of the results of our identity in Christ?

How can you practically live a more Jesus-first life this week?

What role or relationship can you become more “Jesus-first?”

How will you practically show Jesus-first in the places you live, work, and play?

Pray for someone you know by name who needs the reconciliation of the gospel.
