1:07
In this sermon excerpt, the speaker asserts that a believer’s true identity is defined by the Spirit and Christ’s sacrifice, not by personal performance. When God looks at a believer, He sees a perfected, new creation filled with joy, peace, righteousness, boldness, and confidence. The speaker contrasts this new nature with the old, carnal self, warning against legalistic and self‑hatred attitudes that label believers as “worms” or “wicked.” He emphasizes that such negative self‑views belong to the old nature, while the new creation is inherently valuable. Even when believers feel unworthy or incomplete, grace covers their gaps and faith compensates for mistakes, enabling them to live confidently in Christ.
