2. How does forgetting your identity in Christ show up in your daily life? Do you find yourself looking for value through your performance, relationships, or image? In what ways do you step away from your calling as an ambassador when this happens? 3. When we offer people advice rooted only in principles and rules and disconnected from the person of Christ, we risk shifting their focus from a redeemer to a rule book.
