"Who Are You?"

Rich Nathan in his message this past weekend entitled “Who Are You” said that for those of us in Christ it’s not “Who Are You” but “Whose I Am”. Galatians 2:20 speaks to this very point: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”

Rich told us that almost all translations miss the mark in verses 15 & 16:

"We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' 16know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.”
Instead of reading “faith in Jesus Christ” Rich told us that it should really state “we are justified by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ” Wow.

Rich said that “When we accept Christ we are freed from the greatest burden we could ever drag around – ourselves”

In closing Rich told us of St. Augustine and how he was a ‘ladies man’ before he was saved. After his conversion, one of his lady friends passed right by him and called his name but he just kept on walking. Finally she said “Is it you Augustine? Do you know me ?” His reply was “Yes I know you……but it is not I”

“Whose Are You?” then?




"This Is Who I Am" by Third Day

"I?m a son of a good man
I?m the child of an angel
I?m the brother of a wild one
And I?m looking for direction

I?m the lover of a beauty
I?m the father of blessings
I?m a singer of a love song
But is that all I?m good for?

This is who I am, oh, this is who I am
So take me and make me something so much more
This is who I am, oh, this is who I am
So change me and make me someone better than before

I?m a saint and a sinner
I?m a lover and a fighter
I?m a true believer
With great desire

I?m a preacher of grace
Prophet of love, teacher of truth
I?ve fallen down so many times
But here I stand in front of You, yeah

This is who I am, oh, this is who I am
So take me and make me something so much more
This is who I am, oh, this is who I am
So change me and make me someone better than before

So, take me as I am
But please don?t leave me that way
?Cause I know that You can
Make me better than I am today
Oh, better than today, oh yeah, oh

This is who I am, oh, this is who I am
So take me and make me something so much more
This is who I am, oh, this is who I am
So change me and make me someone better than before"
