MAIN POINT When Christ comes into your life, He gives you a new identity and fills you with power.
Read Ephesians 3:14-17;19
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power…
…through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Filled with worship “I bow my knees before the Father…” (Ephesians 3:14)
Our response to the giver of our new identity is to be filled with worship.
Filled with strength “…to be strengthened with power through His Spirit…” (Ephesians 3:16)
Don’t be afraid. You have been given power through your identity in Christ.
Filled with God “…Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” (Ephesians 3:17)
You have to realize that your new identity comes from the fact that Christ lives in you!
When Christ comes into your life, He gives you a new identity and fills you up with worship, strength, and Himself. Filled with Power

Do you feel inadequate, depressed, weak, or powerless? You can have confidence, strength, and joy in Christ! Unbelievers
