Identity—Raised & Seated with Christ pt. 1

In this message, we explore the powerful truth of Ephesians 2:6, where the Apostle Paul declares that God has already raised us up and seated us with Christ. This sermon unpacks the theological weight of Paul’s language, showing how the small but crucial prepositions “in” and “with” reveal our union and shared participation with Christ. Salvation is not merely forgiveness of sins—it is a new identity grounded in Christ’s resurrection life.

Part One focuses especially on what it means to be raised with Christ: a decisive, completed act that brings new creation life, liberation from spiritual death, and access to resurrection power here and now. This message invites believers to move beyond seeing the resurrection as only a past event or future hope and to embrace the present reality of who they already are in Christ.
