The teaching of our union with Christ sets Christianity completely apart from every other religion on earth. Our redemption is a Person; our sanctification is a Person. Our righteousness is a Person. Our resurrection is a Person; our source of truth is a Person. Our hope is a Person; our way to Heaven and the New Earth is a Person. In him we have all we need for life and godliness. We must take hold of that for which we have been laid hold of. The 5:17 People Week will help families take hold of Christ this way.
Our family continues to use resources contained in the book, Real Hope for the Home by Eric Wallace during our nightly devotional time together. ‘Our New Identity from A to Z’ list provides 100+ reminders for all believers that we have been made new in Christ. As we work through each one of the characteristics, we review the Scripture references considering how this practically applies to our lives.
