Hello Steemians, first of all, thanks to @sirknight for the ideas of the gospel in Steemchurch.
One of the major challenges confronting Christians today is the matter of their identity in Christ after conversion; who they are in Christ. Religion, popular beliefs and worldly influence have all succeeded at giving us labels that “misidentify” us and at such, made us to “misrepresent” Christ whom we have believed. Who am I? Do I have power? Does the Holy Spirit live in me? Are my sins truly forgiven? What will be my end after I live this world? We know not what we are! Luke 9:55. The matter of having correct understanding of our true identity in Christ is key if we will live holy, act righteously, and exercise dominion as Christ did, experience victory and rest in the finished works of Jesus Christ 2Pet 1:3.
