Do
you base your value and worth on what you do or who you are?
A distorted
identity and life of bondage are not a coincidence. A poor understanding of our
identity is the primary cause of bondage among Christians today. For your
identity directly determines your every decision and how you choose to live
your life.
A person who is
liberated has the right or power to do as one pleases, or freedom without
restraint or bondage. Galatians 5:1 declares this reality - It is for freedom that Christ has set us
free. However, too many sincere believers today are living in some type of
bondage when they already have the power to be set free. Therefore
understanding who we
are and unlocking the power within us as children of God is the key to a liberated life.
A desire to be all that God created us to be should be
our highest pursuit in life. When we understand who we are and our purpose in
Christ, we will be able to take hold of all the amazing plans He has in store for
us.
Expanded Synopsis
Freedom is so important to people today.
It is possibly one of the most valued and celebrated realities a person can
experience after a lifetime of bondage. The truth is we were created to be free
and experience the fullness of freedom in Christ as Christians. But the reality
is many sincere believers today are living in some kind of bondage, sin or
ruled by negative emotions when they have the power to be set free.
One definition of the word liberated can be to set free from personal
bondage. Nouns include deliverance, freedom, liberty, and
release from captivity. This is everything Christ died for us to have today.
Our identity greatly determines who we are and what we do in life. When we understand
who we are and our purpose in Christ, we will be able to take hold of all the
amazing plans God has for us. How you
are loved because of who you are, not because of anything you will ever do.
From this place who you are changes what you do.
The purpose of this book is to provide a clear and biblical framework of
your identity in Christ which leads to long lasting relational, spiritual,
physical and emotional freedom. To inspire and transform you to become all God
created you to be. To live liberated
in your life in total freedom in the fullness of your faith and relationship
with Christ. That you would have freedom from addictions, liberty over the
power of sin, release from childhood bondages, and set free from negative emotions.

An accurate perception of ourselves, God and others based on the truth
of scripture will over time lead to liberation in our everyday lives. Changing
behaviour without understanding the reasons behind the behaviour will not bring
long term change. But a deep sense of our need for God’s grace, sorrow over sin
and joy over our forgiveness will.
God can accomplish great things within us through
difficult seasons. I will share moments of my journey of overcoming years of
bondage which I believe can be fully yours too. Join with me as we journey on
living in the divine freedom which is yours in Christ. May God find you in this
book and restore you as His child.
