The sermon was about identification with Christ and how it affects our lives as Christians. The main points and the supporting discussion were:

• Identification is a spiritual principle that means we share in Christ's death and resurrection and become a new creation in him. 1

• Identification in Christ gives us access to the spirit of God, the wisdom of God, and the power of God to overcome the world. 2, 3, 4

• Identification in Christ also means we are sanctified, blessed, saved, reconciled, forgiven, adopted, loved, gifted, new, and victorious. 5, 6, 7, 8

• We need to believe and confess who we are in Christ and act according to our identity, not according to our flesh or our senses. 9, 10, 11, 12

• We need to spend time with God and his word to know him and his will for us, and to share his love and truth with others. 13, 14, 15, 16
