John 15 | Your Identity In Christ | Union - Jonny Ardavanis

Why do so many Christians struggle with temptation, doubt, insecurity, and a lack of spiritual strength? Why does victory in the Christian life often feel elusive?

In this sermon, we return to one of the most foundational truths of the New Testament: identity. Scripture teaches that every person is born into one of two realities—in Adam or in Christ. By nature, we are united to Adam, sharing in sin, death, and condemnation. But through faith, God offers a radical transformation: a new identity, a new standing, and a new life in Christ.

Rather than calling us to self-effort or moral improvement, the gospel announces a decisive change of position. The first Adam brought death; the second Adam, Jesus Christ, brings life. This message traces that contrast through Romans, 1 Corinthians, Colossians, and beyond, showing how our union with Christ shapes assurance, holiness, and victory over sin.

If you are battling temptation, weighed down by guilt, or struggling to understand who you truly are as a believer, this sermon calls you back to the fundamentals—not what you must do, but who you already are in Christ.

Key Points:

1. In Adam

2. In Christ

Whether you are seeking clarity, assurance, or new life, this message invites you to reckon the truth of the gospel and live in light of your identity in Christ.
