Ephesians 4.1 The fact that I am in prison does not in the least diminish my awareness of my “in-Christ-ness!” My complete existence is defined and confined in him. Let the detail of your day-to-day life 3flow from the consciousness of your true 2identity and 3worth, as defined in him.
I look at this passage as reassurance that no matter what, I’m a son. If I’m in jail and get in a fight. I am still a son. If I go through a divorce, I’m still a son. If I choose after 33 years and go back out and start using cocaine again I’m still a son.
The same power that rose Jesus from the dead is at work in me right now. It defeated sin, conquered death, and the devil’s lies.
Matthew 6.6
