Rise Community Church

In our exploration of Ephesians 4:1, we uncover a profound truth about our identity in Christ. The apostle Paul urges us to 'live a life worthy of the calling you have received.' But what does this truly mean? It's not about earning God's love or paying back a debt. Rather, it's an invitation to live in alignment with who we already are in Christ. We are called 'holy ones' and 'saints' not because we're perfect, but because that's our new identity in Jesus. This shift in perspective transforms how we view ourselves and our walk with God. It's about becoming who we already are in Christ, growing into the reality of our new nature. As we embrace this truth, we're challenged to live out our faith in community, supporting one another in love and unity. This message reminds us that our journey of faith isn't about striving to earn God's favor, but about living out the grace we've already received.
