Dive Deeper: Brand New You
Scripture Focus:
"But—When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us... He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit..."
Titus 3:4-7 (NLT)
Key Takeaways from the Sermon "Brand New You"
1. The Holy Spirit Regenerates Us:
- Embrace that your salvation is entirely a work of God's mercy, not your own efforts. Allow the Holy Spirit to renew your life.
- John 3:5-6 - "The Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life."
2. The Holy Spirit Seals Our Identity in Christ:
- Rest in the security of your identity in Christ. The Holy Spirit confirms that you are a child of God.
- Romans 8:16 - "The Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children."
3. The Holy Spirit Empowers Us to Live Our New Life:
- Depend daily on the Spirit to live out your new identity. He empowers you to overcome the desires of the flesh and walk in freedom.
- Galatians 5:16 - "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."
Reflection Questions:
1. In what ways have you experienced the Holy Spirit's regenerating power in your life?
2. How does knowing you are sealed and identified as God's child affect your daily walk?
3. Are there areas in your life where you are relying on your own strength instead of the Holy Spirit’s empowerment? How can you shift towards dependence on Him?
4. How has your understanding of your new identity in Christ deepened through this message?
5. What practical steps can you take this week to embrace and live out your new life in Christ?

The Holy Spirit regenerates, seals, and empowers us. Just as Nicodemus needed to understand the radical transformation through the Spirit, we too must embrace our new life in Christ. Let the Holy Spirit continually shape you as you live out your new identity.
Personal Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me new life through the Holy Spirit. Help me to fully embrace my identity in Christ, secure in the knowledge that I am Your child. Empower me to live each day in the strength of Your Spirit, reflecting Your love and grace in everything I do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
