In Christ - Some Helpful Resources
In my Bible reading from Ephesians on Friday last week, I was reminded that our identity comes firstly from who we are in Christ. We are Christians before anything else.
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit...
Ephesians 1:13
It’s an immense truth to grasp hold of – that we also were included in Christ when we heard the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation! Our identity lies in what Christ has done for us. It means that whenever we look at the challenges and choices we face as Christians in an increasingly secular world, we approach these matters with this perspective: that first we are in Christ.
Over the last few Sundays we have looked at two important and pastorally sensitive subjects, the sanctity of life and singleness. These can be challenging and complex issues, and we therefore wanted to make you aware of some additional resources we have available. We hope you find them helpful.
