Who God Says You Are

Freedom and Heart Change

Statements like 'I am what I have done' and 'I am damaged goods' feel true to many believers. Walking through Ephesians 2, this course teaches you to answer each false identity statement with what God has actually declared about you in Christ, with a specific verse for each, spoken in the first person. Based on the Freedom Groups identity material.

What You'll Work Through

Each unit is a conversation, not a page to read. The tutor asks you to explain, apply, and work with the material until it holds.

Chapter 1: Dead, But God (Ephesians 2)

Section 1.1: The Before Picture

Open in Ephesians 2:1-3: apart from Christ, your identity is 'dead'
The three forces behind the 'before' identity: the world, Satan, and the flesh
Why the 'before picture' must be felt before the good news lands

Section 1.2: The Turning Point and the After Picture

"But God" as the turning point of Ephesians 2
God's motive in the rescue is His mercy and love, not our worth
The after picture: made alive, raised, and seated with Christ

Chapter 2: The Freedom in Christ Diagram

Section 2.1: Saint, Sufferer, Sinner Apart From and In Christ

The Freedom in Christ diagram asks one question: how are you responding to temptation?
In Christ, each identity has a Godward response: the sinner repents, the sufferer mourns in hope, the saint seeks refuge in Christ
Apart from Christ, the saint responds like a Pharisee, trusting self-righteousness instead of resting in Christ
