We have been trained to believe we are professional sinners who have been forgiven. However, you cannot fall short of the glory, you are the hope of glory. Jesus died to give you freedom everywhere in your life. In Ephesians 5:8 it says you once were darkness, BUT you are NOW light.
* The enemy of your identity is shame, and the remedy is hope.
* The enemy of your destiny is fear, and the remedy is love.
* The enemy to your purpose in life is discouragement, and the remedy is faith.

Romans 12:2 do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
The renewed mind lives and operates from the inner awareness of the mind of Christ and comes through the encounter. The heart is capable of a response before the mind can understand. Lord requires a heart response before mental agreement, heart response says surrender while the mind response says agreement. Many have come into mental agreement, but not personal transformation because it didnt begin with surrender.
Romans 6: 11 consider yourself to be dead to sin.
Dead people do not make bad choices. The death of Christ was sufficient to make sin a non issue. Not only is it a settled issue, the deception is thinking that we live in battle with our old nature. You have to believe a lie to sin once you are born-again.

Kris shares that in our identity in Christ, we are no longer sinners, we are saints. Baptism kills the old nature. If we are crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but He who lives in me. Therefore, we can still sin, but it is no longer our nature to sin. The main point of of Romans is that we are free from sin.
There are still struggles that you may have in life, but it is not the struggle against the old nature. You need to make sure that you are fighting the right enemy and not putting effort in to kill something that is already dead.
