Myth, 58

~ Just Be Yourself ~

 

The Lie  ~  “Just be yourself” is one of Satan’s biggest lies!  Being yourself is being a sinner. 

 

The Reality  ~  You were born with a sin nature which has been passed down from Adam and his sin in the original garden. 

 

The Truth  ~  The Word of God teaches us how we can become adopted children of God who are seen through the lens of the righteousness of Christ. 

 

The New Life  ~  The Christian is to live a life which is increasingly being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. 

 

“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29). 

 

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2).

 

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18).
