Have you ever felt lost, or that you keep reverting to an old version of yourself you'd rather leave behind? This teaching tackles the profound concept of our true identity in Christ using the powerful analogy of being "restored to factory settings." It begins by exploring the idea of "home" as our true spiritual disposition—a place where we can drop all pretense and performance and simply be.
The central message is a radical reframing of identity: your true self is not the flawed person you see, but your "child of God self," which was God's original design from before the foundation of the world. The session explains that through the finished work of Christ, we are not just forgiven, but fully restored to this default setting. This transformation isn't achieved through striving, but by submitting to the Holy Spirit, who is "effectually at work" conforming us to the image of Christ.
