In week three of "Who We Are in Christ," Pastor Mike and Ethan explore two powerful identity statements that transform how believers live. True freedom isn't about doing whatever we want—it's about being liberated from sin, death, and spiritual bondage to walk in life-giving relationship with God.
Like a fence protecting us from a lion, God's boundaries aren't restrictive but protective, keeping us from spiritual death and leading us toward abundant life. The second identity truth reveals we possess the mind of Christ, giving us access to God's thoughts and perspectives through His Word. This isn't passive—while salvation is freely given, we must actively "get up and grab the food from the fridge" by engaging with Scripture and choosing to set our minds on things above.
