Jesus Bless
Putting off the old self and putting on the new is not a one-time decision—it is a daily surrender to the transforming work of Christ. In this episode of Through the Refiner’s Fire, we explore how true identity in Christ goes beyond head knowledge and calls us into lived obedience, renewed minds, and Spirit-led transformation. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and Colossians 3, the conversation confronts the reality that the old man does not die quietly and that holiness is not about perfection, but faithful dependence on Jesus. As we learn to yield our desires, habits, and identity to Him, we discover that the life Christ calls us to is not only freeing—it is perfectly fitted for who we were created to be in Him.
What defines you—your past, your culture, or the labels placed on you by the world? We explore what it truly means to be a Child of God, adopted into a new identity through Christ rather than shaped by failure, trauma, or worldly expectations. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this conversation walks through the refining journey of being born again, crossing the “shaky bridge” of faith, and learning to rest in Christ’s righteousness instead of striving to prove ourselves. When false labels are laid down, true belonging is found—not in the world, but in the family of God.
What does it truly mean to follow Christ in a world that constantly reshapes identity? Scripture tells us that when we come to Jesus, our old life is put to death and our true life is now hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). This truth confronts cultural Christianity and challenges believers to move beyond surface-level faith into genuine transformation. Being hidden with Christ is not about perfection or performance—it is about surrender, obedience, and allowing God to refine us through His grace. The refining fire does not exist to destroy us, but to reveal who we truly are in Christ.
