Few things hurt like rejection.

Whether it's as a little child not being picked for the game in the backyard

or whether it's a grown-up when your spouse walks out on you,

rejection produces a level of pain that's often difficult to overcome.

But it's possible you can overcome the pain of rejection and today you'll learn how.

Thanks for listening to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram. Living on the Edge is an international teaching and discipleship ministry focused on helping

Christians live like Christians.

While we're in the middle of our series, Unstuck, overcoming the pain of your past. In this program, Chip will help us

understand what God says about us and why it's always true no matter how we feel.

There's a lot to get to so get your Bible and go to

Ephesians chapter one as we join Chip for part two of his message

overcoming rejection.

So let's talk about what it looks like to be in Christ.

God's solution for our rejection, no matter how rejected you have been.

And as we go through this, I want to suggest that there are some lies that we believe and I'm going to

identify the lie and then I want to show you in each section how Jesus is the answer to overcoming your rejection and mine.

Lie number one is I don't measure up because of what I've done in the past.

And Jesus says, I will put your past behind you.

I will put your past behind you. I will put your past behind you. Notice in him, there's that phrase. This is

the wood connected to the bolt or this is Jesus Life, Death, and resurrection and victory connected to you.

In him, we have redemption.

How? Through his blood.
