Finding Certainty in an Uncertain World
Culture Proof: Identity Determines Activity
September 27, 2020 • Cole Ragsdale
When we understand our true identity, the things of this world pale in comparison to what God has to offer us. 1 John 2:12-14 (ESV) “I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name’s sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who in from the beginning. I write to you, young me, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one”. 1 John 2:15-17 (ESV) Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
