Security within a community is the desired goal of every human.
The interaction needed for this ideal depends on productive relationships.
An adequate self-concept is necessary to develop relationships that build trust, because it is not dependent on others affirmation.
(Self-esteem is different as it relies on comparison which is dependent the reactions and acceptance of others.)
The material that has been developed by Dr. Wagner is based on the idea that an adequate self-concept is a gift of God and provides to humans security beyond their highest effort.
Ephesians 1 innumerates the content of that gift. All of the lessons offered on this site attempt to explain and apply these truths so that they can be restorative and develop an adequate self-concept.
Colossians 1:25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Col. 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Identity Motivated Living™
is an expression that embodies the essence of the Christian life. When you turn away from your old life and invite Jesus to take charge, Jesus Christ comes into you to dwell, creating in you a new life, a new creation, which is a "New Nature." As this "baby" nature in you "drinks the milk" (1 Peter 2:2) of the Word, it matures and power wells up from it, motivating you to good works out of love for God. Your new identity comes from the Father; you have Jesus living in you always; and the Holy Spirit empowers you to be more and more like Christ.
Jesus uses the term, “...I am,” to reference himself in John 8:58. Thus, the acronym I. M. Living refers to “Christ in us the hope of Glory.”
Dr. Maurice E. Wagner embraced this as a slogan for the unique concepts he discerned during his 60 years of ministry. He was motivated to write these explanations of how the Biblical relationship works in modern life so that you can greatly benefit and be a blessing in all of your relationships.
