Summary

In this message, Pastor Louie Giglio teaches from Ephesians 1 on what it means to carry the label 'I Am HIS.' Through faith in the gospel, believers are marked with the Holy Spirit as God's secure and prized possession. Knowing that we belong to God provides absolute self-worth, intimate divine awareness, complete spiritual security, and calls us to live fully devoted as His people to bring heaven's light to a hurting world.

Absolute Devotion to Him and His Will

Key Points

1.
Our true identity is not defined by our last mistake, success, promotion, or failure, but by who God says we are in Christ.
2.
Believers are included in Christ by hearing the gospel message of truth and believing it, at which point they are marked with the Holy Spirit.
3.
Being God's prized possession gives believers absolute value and worth that does not rely on human approval.
4.
Just as a rancher intimately knows and keeps track of every sheep in the flock, God maintains complete and loving awareness of every detail of our lives.
5.
The Holy Spirit acts as a signet ring seal of authority and ownership, guaranteeing our inheritance and providing unshakeable spiritual security.
6.
Believers do not belong to themselves or the world, but were bought with a price through the blood of Jesus Christ.
7.
Living as God's possession requires shifting from a passive "renting" mindset to an "all-in" commitment of absolute devotion and availability to His will.

Sermon Moments

“"You are not your last mistake. And you're not your last success. You are who God says you are in Christ."”

“"I do not get my absolute value and worth from human approval because I already have God approval."”

“The illustration of a rancher who tracks every individual cow's life, demonstrating how intimately God knows and cares for His flock.”

“The explanation of the Greek word for seal, describing it as a royal signet ring that marks ownership, authority, and complete protection.”

“The analogy of the "renting mentality" versus having an "ownership mentality" that pushes all in for God.”

“"He isn't renting you. He bought you. He's not trying you out knowing he could take you back. He went all in and he purchased you."”

“"If Earth is going to see heaven, it's going to be because there's a prized possession and a holy people who are ready to do his will."”

“The repetitive declaration that in every worldly crisis—war, hate, division, depression, or darkness—God responds, "It's okay, I have a people."”

This Week

Stop defining yourself by recent failures or accomplishments, and instead declare daily that your identity rests in being God's secure possession.

Reject the need for human approval by remembering that your worth was established by God when He purchased you with Christ's blood.

Rest in God's intimate awareness of your life, trusting that He knows every detail and need you are facing this week.

Stand firm against fear and spiritual attack, knowing that you carry the Holy Spirit's seal of authority and protection.

Move from a "renting" mindset to an "all-in" commitment by surrendering every area of your life, schedule, and resources to Jesus.

Choose to abstain from sinful desires that wage war against your soul, living honorably so others may see God through your life.

Actively step into your call as part of God's people by bringing hope, generosity, worship, and light into dark or difficult places around you.

Remember This

Because you have been purchased by Christ and sealed by the Holy Spirit as God's prized possession, your life has absolute worth, complete security, and a sacred calling to be all-in for His will on earth.

A Challenge for You

"Would you be my people? Would you be on earth my people? Cuz you're all I got."
