This episode is a devotional in the series we are calling "My identity in Christ." When we become a believer there are several things that change about us and it's important to know those things so that we know who we are in Christ. Our focus for today is the statement, "I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins." This statement is based in Colossians chapter 1, verses 13-14.

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

Head of Shepherd Christian School, Mike Fluhart shares a devotional in our "My Identity in Christ" series. Today's focus comes from Ephesians 2:18, "For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit."
