Monday @ New Life
From 6/3/26
Based on the Trinity Sunday Sermon: “The Church the Trinity Builds” | 2 Corinthians 13:11–13
The sermon declared that Christian identity is conferred, not constructed. Before you made any decision, the Father chose you in Christ, the Son redeemed you, and the Spirit sealed you. Unity in the church begins with every member knowing that their identity does not come from their performance, their background, or their spiritual track record — it comes from belonging to a Triune God who claimed them first.
Ephesians 1:4–5 He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:15–16 The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
2 Corinthians 5:17 If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
For Reflection
1. In what areas of your life do you still define yourself by what you do, what you’ve done wrong, or what others say about you — rather than by what God says about you?
From GCI
Our salvation is graciously given by the Three-in-One God revealed to us throughout the entire story of Scripture. As followers of Jesus Christ, we have entrusted our lives to him. In doing so we received his very Spirit, who testifies with our spirit that we are indeed God’s children in Christ. How do our lives show others the family resemblance between us and our heavenly Father? At the start of Ordinary Time, take some time to reflect. Simply sit, reflect, and receive the amazing love of the Father, grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and presence of the Holy Spirit. Ask our triune God to lead you to people who also need to witness God’s amazing love for them
