**In Red Church today, Joseph Z explains how Jesus can change our identity forever by walking in His finished works and righteousness.**

Joseph reminds us that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and that a revelation of God's love for us empowers us to overcome the burdens in our lives. He explains that we are saved by grace through faith and cautions against adhering to the "doctrine of more." Referencing Colossians 2:6, he urges us to walk in Christ since we have received Him. He clarifies that fasting and prayer only move and discipline us; they do not change God, who remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.

He encourages us to embrace the true gospel of Christ, which involves receiving what Christ has paid for and walking in His completed works for us. Joseph emphasizes the importance of allowing God to love people through us, as this is the essence of ministry. He warns against an obsession with law-based preaching, referencing Colossians 2:16-17 to remind us of God's stance on self-righteousness, stating that anyone caught up in the law is not living in the gospel. He stresses that Jesus desires us to walk in His fullness and righteousness, and we can stand in authority when we are in Jesus.

Joseph explains that the law did not come to improve us but to declare everyone guilty. He clarifies that the true gospel compels us to accept the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus instead of relying on our own works. Additionally, he reveals that a separation between the holy and the profane is forthcoming, as the Lord promises to complete what He has started. He warns that if we fail to fulfill what God requires of us in this season, our land may revert to a time of evil.

He further explains God's sovereignty, noting that God is only in control of what He has constrained Himself to by His words. He clarifies that God's will does not automatically come to pass in our lives; it requires our effort to align with it. We can achieve this by finding our community and aligning ourselves with it.
