Identity in Christ Part 2: Belonging to a New Humanity
Scripture anchor: Romans 5:1–21
Pastor Petrea unpacks Romans 5 around identity: because we're justified by faith, we stand in grace and can rejoice in hope, and suffering, though real, doesn't have the authority to define us. Jesus does, since He calls us loved, forgiven and His own, and the contrast between Adam and Christ shows we move from an identity marked by sin and death to one marked by grace, righteousness and life. Ultimately, the cross gets the final word over whatever our story includes.
