Say, archaeologists would uncover this scroll, and it's the lost letter of Paul to the Corinthians, and there may be more than one.

Some scholars say there are

two last letters to the Corinthians.

Some say there are more than that.

How would you know?

And one of the things that you would look for is in Christo, in Christ, because it's at the heart.

Paul can't write.

Paul can't think.

He can't move.

He can't breathe.

He can't preach without mentioning the fact that he was once in Adam, but now he is in Christ.

He's a new man in Christ.

That's his identity.

We ended, I think, the last session by saying we should preach the gospel to ourselves every day, and part of that gospel is to remind ourselves of who we are.

You go into the bathroom in the morning, you look in the mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

And you say, Jesus is.

And when you look into that mirror, you see Jesus, because you are in union and communion with Jesus.

That's who you are.

That's your identity.

and you shouldn't be in doubt as to your identity.
