ABBA Father Part 1 | Ben Young

Summary

In this sermon, the speaker explores the evolving concept of human identity through a historical philosophical lens, tracing how our understanding of self has shifted from being externally defined by God to becoming increasingly subjective and internally determined. The discourse highlights key philosophers like Descartes, Rousseau, Marx, Freud, and Foucault who contributed to modern identity confusion by grounding personal identity in thinking, feeling, desire, and psychology rather than external realities. Ultimately, the speaker concludes by referencing Galatians 3 and arguing that true identity is found through a relationship with God, who created each individual uniquely and desires people to understand their authentic selves through faith in Christ.
