“Your voice is like fire, breaking up the hard rock (Is not my word like fire?).”
Pastor Sam Gibson teaches from Romans 8 that rejection is inevitable for Christians, but God uses it to form us. The solution to being shaped by rejection or enslaved by the need for human recognition is the Spirit of adoption—receiving identity, status, and inheritance in Christ so we can respond to rejection from the place of being beloved. He contrasts the imposter/orphan self (performance, people-pleasing, needing recognition) with the beloved/adopted self (secure, free to risk, rooted in the Father's love) and issues practical invitations to receive healing and be reborn into that reality.
