State of the Union | Lesson 1
Who are you—really? Not according to your feelings, your failures, or what the culture around you offers as "identity," but according to what God says. In this opening lesson of a new 10-week series on Union in Christ, Pastor Josh Strelecki lays the foundation for one of the most vital yet neglected truths in Scripture: every person is either in Adam or in Christ. There is no spectrum, no in-between—only a fixed, definite position established by God Himself. This lesson distinguishes that settled identity from the ongoing, progressive work of spiritual growth, showing why so many believers live with a wavering, borrowed sense of who they are before God.
Walking through Galatians 3, Romans 5–8, Ephesians 1–2, and more, this teaching unpacks what it means to be a child of God, sealed, justified, and secure in Christ—not because of performance, but because of what God has already done. You'll see how this doctrine strengthens eternal security, anchors believers in suffering, guards against both legalism and license, and provides the true foundation for good works. Whether you're wrestling with guilt over repeated sin or searching for a stable sense of self, this lesson points to the unchanging truth: your identity in Christ is fixed, finished, and cannot be taken away.
