identity in Christ???

You are not saved by how you behave; you are saved by how you believe.

Man have and still are, trying to gain favour with pagan gods by doing good, e.g. charity, but non are saved (Isaiah 44). We are saved only by believing in the one true God and because of who we are in Christ, we follow His commands.

Our identity in Christ? What does that mean?

A policeman's identity as a law enforcer compells his very being to ensure that the law is adhered to. Same thing for Christians. When we willingly embrace God into our lives, our new identity as Christians compells us to do the neccessaries e.g. obeying God, loving one another.

The policeman no longer a civilian, the Christian no longer a prisoner of sin and death.
