• How we behave towards people indicates what we believe about God.
Affirm Your New Identity (5-6)
• The beauty of the Gospel is that God values what the world regards as valueless.
• When we decide to follow Jesus was a re-invoking of His name over our identity.
Distribute Love & Mercy (7-13)

• To slander the poor is to slander God.
