Christ Centered Identity

We are robbing God of what he created us to be through Jesus when we don’t live out who he says we are.

Selling fake blood

🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸

The money changers and those selling animals in the temple for sacrifice where making personal gains off of the Jewish community for them to pay for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus was upset because he was the sacrifice and no one but his father should benefit from his creation getting right with Him. You can’t buy forgiveness it’s a gift that we lay our lives down to walk in.

“Lucy is so boujee”

Where do you place the importance of Jesus in the life you’ve been given? Psalms‬ ‭119:103-105‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

103 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.

105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Copped my salvation
