No Longer Me: I am ABLE in Christ - Louie Giglio

Main message: Christianity is primarily about a new identity in Christ, not merely being "just a sinner saved by grace"; because we are joined to Jesus as new creations, we are "able" through Christ to live differently and overcome the conditions that try to define us.

Key points:

• Many people live under labels (from others, circumstances, the enemy, or themselves); God wants to re-label us by our identity in Christ.
• If anyone is in Christ they are a new creation — the old has gone and the new has come — so our position in Christ is the basis for changed living (not merely trying harder as the old self).
• Being joined to Christ (seated with him, crucified with him, Christ living in us) gives believers capacity and authority to walk holy lives.
• Paul’s call to "put off the old self and put on the new" means a renewed attitude of mind that results in practical change.
• "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" frames the sermon’s central label: able — believers can overcome shame, habits, family patterns, and receive God’s love because of Christ in them.
• The goal is for this new identity to become second nature — our first response in every situation.
