This is one of the most commonly accept terms used to describe the exchanged life. Since behavior comes from identity, what one believes to be their identity (Christ or self) makes a significant impact on daily living. It is of utmost importance that the indwelt believer places their identity in the message of identification with Christ in His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.

True righteousness can only be found in the One who is Righteous – Jesus Christ. Once a convert receives Christ into their lives, they become the Righteousness of Christ (2 Cor. 5:21). Self-righteousness is a fleshly and ungodly form of humans mustering up their own rightness before God and man (Rom. 10:3).

Extending Forgiveness before God, in prayer, is forgiving anyone who has hurt you. Once an indwelt believer gets to this point, he is usually quick to release all anger and pain before God, extending forgiveness to those who initially hurt him, and in many cases, is ready to seek forgiveness from others whom he has hurt (Matt. 5:22-24).

Seeking Forgiveness is the process of going to an individual whom you have offended by action or reaction, seeking their forgiveness, and restoring the relationship when possible. Once the believer has extended forgiveness before God on how he was hurt, he usually is released to go and seek the forgiveness for his part in the offense. We find that when a believer reaches this stage of discipleship, he begins to rest, abide, and walk in the Spirit in the truest sense.

Resting, Abiding, and Walking are the result of appropriating true forgiveness in all areas of life. It is living in the present, releasing the Life of Christ in you to be obedient to the Father through your mind, will, and emotions. When an indwelt believer gets to this point in growth, he is able to confront the self-centered view of life and to embrace the challenge of releasing the mind of Christ from within. Resting in Christ is a perfect place to be in showing the Love Life of Jesus (Matt. 11:28).

Love Life is the pinnacle of the Christian Life. Once appropriating the aforementioned 10 definitions/steps, the indwelt believer begins to embrace the two primary commandments spoken of by Christ: love the Lord with your whole heart and secondly, love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 1:30-31). The result is, when we obey we have no condemnation. When we have no condemnation, we have confidence toward God. Then, whatever we ask through Christ, we receive (1 John 3:21-22).

Our culture is changing faster than any other culture in church history and the youth are disillusioned and confused. Confused literally means, “the lack of understanding – resulting in fusion to uncertainty.” The bottom-line is, Gen-Z is being forced into fusion (the process, or result, of joining two or more things together to form a single entity and/or belief) - “pluralist.” PLEASE forward this message to your contact list! Thank you.

Gen-Z statistics are revealing that not only is our present generation & culture deeply confused about absolute Truth, gender and sexuality, but it reveals their generation re-fuses (rejecting fusion) to listen to the generations above them, as well as their fellow generational populous. This results in a generation that places their identity in a post-truth generational anti-ethics modality! PLEASE forward this message to your contact list! Thank you.

In the U.S. there are 69 million Z’ers, compared to 66 million Millennials (young parents), 55 million Gen Y (older parents) and 76 million older X-Boomers (grandparents). The parents of Gen Z are Gen Y and Millennials.

The Z’ers are statistically the most ethnic diverse (pluralist) generation alive today, and they have, for better and worse, grown up with technology at their fingertips. The smartphone was invented before most of them were even born – proving, technology was not a choice, as with their parents, but forced upon them because of parental choice.
