56:19Now PlayingIn the final message of “Our Identity”, Duane teaches that our worth should not come from our abilities or accomplishments in the flesh, but from our relationship with God and who we are in Christ. According to scripture, we can do nothing of value or significance without God. We have no reason to boast or take pride in our talents or abilities, for everything we have is a gift from God. Any knowledge, skills, or achievements we possess are ultimately from Him.
No one is wise, mighty, or noble in their own strength or by their own merits (1 Corinthians 1:26-29). Instead, God has chosen the foolish, weak, and despised things of the world to confound the wise and mighty.
Our natural, carnal mind is at opposition with God and cannot please Him. Only by abiding in Christ, the true vine, can we bear spiritual fruit and live lives that glorify God. Apart from Him, we can accomplish nothing of lasting value. Even our best efforts and supposedly good deeds are like filthy rags without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
When we embrace our weaknesses and inadequacies, we become strong in the Lord. By acknowledging our complete dependence on God and His grace, we are driven to live by faith and rely on Christ's strength rather than our own. Our boasting and confidence must be in the Lord alone, for He alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. #identity #christ #spiritual
