Summary

Being comfortable with who God made you to be, for most of us, is a lifelong pursuit, filled with anxiety and fear. Chip helps you begin to discover how to come to grips with the real YOU.

Three questions we all ask ourselves:

  1. Who am I? (Identity)
  2. Where do I belong? (Security)
  3. What am I supposed to do? (Significance)

Why is it so hard to answer these questions?

  • Genesis 3:8-13

Three obstacles to getting right answers:

  1. Fear rooted in SHAME.
  2. Hiding rooted in INSECURITY.
  3. Blaming rooted in denial.

God’s Answers: Romans 12:3-8

  1. Who are you? -Romans 12:3
    • The Command: Think ACCURATELY about yourself.
  2. Where do you belong? -Romans 12:4-5
    • The Reason: You have a ROLE to fill.
  3. What are you supposed to do? -Romans 12:6-8
    • The Practice: Discover and DEPLOY your spiritual gift.

Never forget who you really are!

  1. God uniquely created you – you are ETERNALLY VALUABLE. -Psalm139:13-14
  2. God placed you in His family – you are UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED. -Ephesians 3:19-22
  3. God gifted you to fulfill His purpose – you are IRREPLACEABLY SIGNIFICANT. -Ephesians 2:10

0:40.7

our series called God's Dream for Your Life, How to Get It, Keep It, and Give It Away. We're exploring

0:46.9

one of the most pressing questions. Who are you, really? Not the version you project to the world,

0:53.1

not the one shaped by what your parents said.

0:55.8

Who does God say you are? Well, to get started, let's open our Bibles to Genesis chapter 3,

1:01.7

verse 8, with the story of Adam and Eve. Here's Chip Ingram with his message titled, How to Come to

Gryphs with the Real You. They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord, God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to the man and said to him, where are you? By the way, this is not an informational question. This is diagnostic.

1:27.7

God knew where he was.

1:29.0

He's going to ask a series of questions

1:30.7

to help Adam discover where he's really at.

1:34.3

Adam said, I heard the sound of you in the garden.

1:36.7

I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself.

1:40.6

If you got a pen where you pull it out

1:42.1

and circle afraid, naked, and hid, that'll come

back later. You're going to find there's a relational pattern in that that you have and I have
