Life, Love and the Pursuit of Kingdom

Shanna and Susan discuss what identity is and how it will determine how we think of ourselves and even determine our world view. Identity that is based in the world view of ourselves brings about confusion and comparison. Identity based on our Creator's view of us is life giving and confidence building.

In this episode Shanna and Susan discuss the greek words that are both translated in English as repent. They share how being a kingdom person, a child of GOD, only requires the initial repentance from sins and change of attitude and behavior and that by being in the kingdom of GOD you are living in grace.

Holy Spirit isn't convicting you of sin once you are a Christian, He is convicting you of your identity. He doesn't lecture you about your wrongs, GOD doesn't see them, He only speaks to your identity in Christ and your purpose. There REALLY is freedom in Christ!

The two greek words are: 1. Metanoeo - change of belief 2. Metanoia - Change of action and attitude
