Listen to God's Promises

August 14, 2023 • Gary Steffes • Romans 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:17–21

The importance of knowing our Identity in Christ cannot be overstated. When we know who God declares us to be we will not look to our performance and what others think to define our significance. Confidence radically increases when we know our identity in Christ! When we get rooted in God's promises by reading or listening to them daily, the neuropathways in our brain are rewired. Start getting rooted today! Go to http://www.pureencouragement.org/confidence for more resources to stand firm in your Identity in Christ.
