In Christ, identity is transformed. You are not who you used to be. Before you knew Christ, you may have accepted that you are a sinner. Now that you know Christ, you must change your identity and accept that you were a sinner.

The moment you surrendered to Jesus, your status changed—from sinner to saint, from lost to found, from dead in sin to alive in righteousness.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This sermon is a declaration of your new identity in Christ.

Yes, all have sinned (Romans 3:23), but when you are born again, you are no longer defined by your past mistakes. You are defined by God’s grace. You were a sinner, but now you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21).

God doesn’t only forgive; He transforms. This message will encourage you to shift your identity into the new creation. Stop living under the weight of who you were and start walking in who you are.

It’s time to break the agreement with shame and step into the freedom of your redeemed identity. You’re not only saved from sin—you’re called to holiness, purpose, and victory. Let go of the old labels. God has rewritten your story. You were a sinner. Now you are His.
