As He Is, So Are We, Part 1

Apr 30, 2025    Pastor Jamie Burns

Tonight, we delve into a powerful message centered on the phrase 'As He is, so are we in this world' from 1 John 4:17. This teaching challenges us to find our true identity in Christ, emphasizing three key aspects: righteousness, confidence, and being beloved. We're reminded that our righteousness isn't earned through works, but is a gift from God through faith in Christ. This truth allows us to stand confidently before God, not in fear, but in assurance. The message beautifully illustrates God's love for us using the parable of the Prodigal Son, painting a picture of a Father who races to embrace us. As we internalize these truths, we're encouraged to see ourselves as God sees us - righteous, confident, and deeply loved. This perspective shift can transform our daily walk with God, allowing us to approach Him boldly and live out our faith with renewed vigor.
