Acts 26:9-18 (MSG)
How can you achieve more success?
Who are you?
Who would other people say that I am?
Mathew 16:13-14 (KJV)
How would you define you?
Religious
Wise
Passionate
Right
Terrorist
Acts 26:15-16 (MSG)
When people act a certain way or have a life event happen to them, we often change their definition. We attach labels to lives.
Lie=Lair
Mean=Mean Person
Addiction=Addict
Steal=Theif
Abused=Victim
Loved one die=Orphan or Widow
I did it to Paul. He cause terror so I labeled him a terrorist. His action changed his definition.
God doesn’t see things this way. Our actions in His eyes don’t change our definition. In essence He says, “That may be what you did, but that’s not who you are.”
Paul ask: Who are you Lord?
Jesus: I am the one you are persecuting, now up on your feet, let Me tell you about this amazing plan I have for your life.
Who are you?
I am loved by a God who has an amazing plan for my life.
1 Timothy 15-19 (MSG)
