OUR IDENTITY
IN CHRIST
DISCOVERING WHO WE ARE
IN CHRIST
YOU IN ME, I
IN YOU
JOHN 14:19-20
Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because
I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father,
and you are in me, and I am in you.
THE VINE AND THE
BRANCHES
JOHN 15:1-5
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while
every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because
of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it
must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the
branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
NEW LIFE Now there was a Pharisee, a man named
Nicodemuswho was a member of the Jewish ruling
FROM
council. He came to Jesus at night and said,
“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has
ABOVE
come from God. For no one could perform the
signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see
the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
JOHN 3:1-8 “How can someone be born when they are old?”
Nicodemus asked.
NEW
CREATION
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-18
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the
new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christand
gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
“Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Jesus answered, “Very truly I
tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to
flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is
going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
1 PETER 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable
seed, but of imperishable, through the living and
enduring word of God.
TITUS 3:5
He saved us, not because of righteous things we
had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us
through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the
Holy Spirit,
CREATED
IN CHRIST
EPHESIANS 2:10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
CREATED IN GOD
HOLY SPIRIT
BAPTIZED US INTO
CHRIST
1 CORINTHIANS 12:13
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews
or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
SPIRITUALLY ONE
WITH JESUS
1 CORINTHIANS 6:13-20
NEW
CREATURES IN
OUR SPIRIT
1 THESSALONIANS 5:23
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and
through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A NEW
IDENTITY
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has
come: The old has gone, the new is here!
