Session 9
Victorious
From Salvation Rise
Listen to “Victorious” then read the following:
If you were born and raised in South Carolina, you don’t become a Georgian if you drive across the state line. You will always be from South Carolina, no matter where you go or what you do.
Who we are is not determined by our current situation. Our identity doesn’t change based on where we’re going or what we’re doing. Our identity is determined by the One who made us.
Once you start your life with Jesus, you always belong to Him. There’s nothing you can do to make God love you any more or any less. You have a new direction in life: to listen to Jesus and do what He says.
Struggling with sin doesn’t mean you’re not saved. Because you belong to Jesus, you can’t lose your salvation. Salvation does not depend on your efforts, but on God’s grace.
The identity God gives you continues from now to eternity. What’s one label or adjective that no longer applies to you now that you belong to Jesus?
