How do we get beyond identifying ourselves as sinners saved by grace? In a sense, we don't get beyond, but if that remains the center of our identity, we miss so much more that our Creator and Redeemer has for us. Barry Phillips and David Jones have some deep thoughts about this topic.

I will confess for a long time I didn’t pay much attention to the genealogies in the Bible because I thought they were difficult and boring. Genesis 4:18, “Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.” Every Hebrew name has a meaning and gives us an example of who the person was and how they fit into the history of the world.
"For, behold, the day cometh, burning as an oven, and it shall be that all proud ones, and all who do wickedly, shall be stubble, and burned shall they be by the day that cometh, saith Yahweh of hosts, that there shall not be left to them root or branch."
