Five-day devotional based on the message, "I Don't Care What People Think" by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers on June 8, 2025. Click here to watch the video.

Devotional
As followers of Christ, our identity is rooted in what God declares about us. We are new creations, forgiven, God's masterpieces, and ambassadors of His kingdom. The approval we seek from the world pales in comparison to the affirmation we already have in Christ. By embracing our identity as God's beloved children, we can confidently navigate life's challenges, knowing that our worth and purpose are found in Him alone.

Bible Verses
You are a new creation. - 2 Corinthians 5:17
You are forgiven. - Ephesians 1:7
You are God’s masterpiece. - Ephesians 2:10
You are the light of the world. - Matthew 5:14
You are filled with the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. - Romans 8:11
You are Christ’s ambassador. - 2 Corinthians 5:20

Reflection Question
What aspects of your identity in Christ can you focus on to strengthen your confidence and sense of purpose?

Sermon Quote
"It does not matter what we are tempted to think about ourselves or what others say about us. It only matters what God says."

Prayer
Dear God, thank You for making me a new creation in Christ. Help me to live confidently in the identity You've given me and to reflect Your love to others. Amen.
