The Real Deal (part 2)

The Real Deal series continued last night with the last 2 parts of the Edge Pledge. As a reminder, the first 2 portions of The Edge Pledge from last week are...

1. God is who He says He is.
2. God can do what He says He can do.

The next part is what we talked about last night...

3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things through Christ.

The Real Deal series is based on believing that God is someone we can trust. It's only then that we can be the kind of authentic Christian that God wants us to be. We broke down each of these statements last night.

Last week we talked about the fact that God is who He says He is and can do what says He can do. If we truly believe this than we have to believe what God has to say in His word about who we are.

I AM WHO GOD SAYS I AM

Who does God say that we are if we know Christ?
1 John 3:1
Ephesians 1:3-8
We are blessed, chosen, adopted, redeemed, and forgiven.

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST

Philippians 4:13
It means that we only do things through His strength. The only way we can accomplish anything is by his power, by his strength, and by his love.

We will experience fear and failure, but we can never let those things define us because only God is the one who tells us the truth about who we are if we know Him as Savior.

THE EDGE PLEDGE

1. God is who He says He is.
2. God can do what He says He can do.
3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things through Christ.
