Who am i?

a new creation.

My identity is in Christ.

My name is Jeremy Appelt. I am married and have one son. I enjoy working out and staying active. I have done a fair number of obstacle course races. I love comic books. I have comic books and reading. I studied electrical engineering at The Ohio State University. I enjoy puzzles and seeing a finished product. Maybe the most amazing puzzle of all is life. But there are at least a few things I have figured out among the mysteries of everyday life.

I am saved by grace through faith in Christ according to the scriptures alone.

I am forgiven. I am made in His image. I am loved. I am known. I am clean. I am a servant. I am a father and a son. I love the outdoors and sports. I love to read and speak.

Everything we do in life is shaped by our identity. Either we are living out of the identity of the flesh or the new creation identity in Christ. I am learning this plays out in everyday decisions that we make; big and small. Will we use our agency to live a life of obedience rooted in faith? Or will we falter and shrink back in fear?

I am trying to take one day at a time under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus. May we all work towards the glory of God in all we do.

A Good Reminder

1 Corinthians 5:16-21

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
