Becoming Your True Self: Why Only Jesus Can Free You From the Identity Trap

“Tell me about yourself.” It’s a question we all face—but most of us don’t know how to answer. In a world filled with identity options—career, gender, sexuality, parenting, success—why do we still feel lost? In this sermon, we explore why defining ourselves by anything other than Jesus leads not to freedom, but to fragmentation. Drawing from Genesis 3 and Jesus’ call in Matthew 16:25 to “lose your life to gain it,” we unpack how only Christ’s death and resurrection can restore our true identity. 🟡 Learn: Why identity rooted in work, sex, religion, or relationships eventually fails How sin isn’t just breaking rules—it’s choosing self over love What it means to die to yourself and be made new in Christ How living in Jesus gives you freedom to forgive, love, and truly live Stop trying to create yourself. Be recreated in Christ. 👉 Watch now and consider: Is Jesus your center—or just another identity option? — 🔔 Subscribe for more sermons and messages 📍 Visit us at [Your Church Name or Website] 📱 Follow us on [Social Media Links if applicable] #Identity #Christianity #TrueSelf #Jesus #Gospel #Faith
