“Welcome to the Fusion Parent Podcast, the show that equips parents to see Jesus transform their homes one conversation at a time. I’m your host Les Norman and today Tim Holman and I are going to be unpacking episode two in a 6 part series called Brand New You. It’s a series on what it means to find worth, meaning, and identity in Jesus.”

Brand New You — Delivered from our Old Nature

Aspect of New Identity in Christ — Delivered from Sin Nature‘s Authority

• We need to look at Romans 6 again to see what it means to have the old self crucified. I’m going to look at Colossians 2:11, 12 where the body of flesh is removed. 

The personal need that is met or the resulting spiritual provision — Freedom from Sin‘s Control. 

• For example someone falling out of fellowship and serving to focus on themselves where focusing on self is the opposite of what needs to happen to be delivered.

The symptoms of not applying the new identity, or results of not knowing, considering, presenting, etc. are as follows. 

• Helplessness and federalism in dealing with sin
• Viewing send superficially 
• two ways of coping with the inability to have real victory are defeat or denial. 

Action Steps

• openness about besetting sins
• patient cooperation with God strategy to change (respond to issues he prioritizes)
• others-centered focus in spite of sin.
