Responding To The Call

Attempt made to distract Jesus- Luke 4:1-13 (NASB) Identity, value, purpose, and responsibility - Obtained through our inheritance to the Kingdom of God through our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. IDENTITY: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB) Paul accepted his identity; "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."
