Our New Identity in Light of the Cross and Resurrection - John Agagwa

In this elective talk from the 2023 Rooted Conference in Kikuyu, Kenya, John highlights the fact that our salvation cost God everything. The implication of that for every Christian is to live lives worthy of Christ's death and resurrection.
The cross and resurrection is God’s grand announcement about the reality and gravity sin. Once we understand ourselves in that light, everything changes.
