INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this class is to remind you of your new identity in Christ. You are a new person now. Your old sinful nature has passed away. You are born of God. The nature of God is born in you. You are a new creature, brand-new specie. Therefore, you must learn how to live your new life just as a newborn baby must learn to do certain things in this world. (I Peter 2:2)
