Only Christ Controls Us if we have Trusted in Him Alone

I am always amazed at those who think intimidation, mocking, demeaning, and exclusion work to control me. Christ is the only One Who controls me.

When we allow the culture around us to intimidate us into being just like them we have sinned. Our identity is not in our families, friends or the culture around us, our identity is in Christ alone.

Romans 6:6

"We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin."

Romans 6:13

"Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness."

Galatians 2:20

"I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

Colossians 3:3

"For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."
