- Identity Crisis — Identity in Christ
When you travel internationally, your passport is the main proof of who you are and which country you belong to. Brian Hedges draws an analogy to show that, if you’re a Christian, your spiritual passport is your identity in Christ. He takes you to Ephesians 1 to show you:
(9:40) 1. You are chosen in Christ.
(17:38) 2. You are adopted in Christ.
(23:17) 3. You are forgiven in Christ.
(29:57) 4. You are secure in Christ.
