In this teaching, we explore the identity believers receive in Christ as a royal priesthood.
“Understanding Our Royal Priesthood in Christ” lays a biblical foundation for how we understand who we are and how we live as followers of Jesus. This episode traces the story of God’s design for humanity from the beginning. God created humanity in His image. Fellowship with Him. We hold authority and responsibility over the earth.
We walk through the Scriptures to see how that original design was disrupted by sin and then restored through the finished work of Christ. From Genesis to Exodus. From the cross where the veil was torn. To the New Testament revelation that believers now have access to God through Jesus.
This teaching explains the two dimensions of the believer’s identity.
Priesthood.
We live in a continual relationship with God through Christ.
Kingship.
Walking in the authority and responsibility entrusted to us in the earth.
Through passages from Hebrews, Galatians, John, Romans, and Revelation, this episode shows that royal priesthood is not about status. It is about restored function. Believers are called to live in union with God and to represent Him faithfully in the world.
This is a fundamental principle for comprehending one's identity in Christ.
Walking with God.
Representing God.
Living in the restored design, Christ came to give.
