Episode 62: Scripture Tells Us Who We Are

In today's episode, we delve into the profound impact that Scripture has on shaping our understanding of who we are as individuals and our mission in this world.

Segment 1: Right View of God Leads to Right View of Ourselves

Our understanding of God plays a crucial role in shaping our self-perception.
The Bible teaches us that we are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-28).
This means that we reflect God's characteristics and have a divine purpose on Earth.

Segment 2: Positive and Negative Aspects of Scripture

Scripture reveals both the positive and negative aspects of our identity.
We explore the concept of "Imago Dei" and what it means for us.
On one hand, we are created in God's image with a mandate to have dominion over creation.
On the other hand, Scripture also acknowledges our sinful nature and separation from God (Colossians 1:21-23).

Segment 3: Adopted as Children of God

A pivotal aspect of Scripture is the idea of adoption into God's family (Romans 8:15-17).
We discuss how this adoption changes our perspective, as we now cry out, "Abba! Father!"
As children of God, we inherit a new identity and a mission to live as heirs with Christ.

Segment 4: New Creation

In Christ, we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:16-17).
This transformation signifies leaving behind our old selves and embracing the new.
We explore how this truth shapes our self-view and mission in Christ.

Segment 5: Reflection and Application

How does the reality of being made in the Image of God shape how you see yourself?
How does Scripture help you continue in your faith and remain stable?
How does the truth of being a child of God and a new creation shape how you should view yourself and your mission?

Conclusion:

Scripture serves as a powerful guide in understanding our identity and mission.
As we delve into the Word of God, we discover that it reveals who we are, both as flawed individuals and as beloved children of God.
We hope this episode has encouraged you to reflect on your own self-perception in light of Scripture.
