Your Story – Week 3: The Undoing
Key Verse:
Revelation 12:11 (NLT) – “And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.”
1. God’s Unshakable Sequence
(Genesis 1:26–28; 2:7 NLT)
- Identity – “Let us make human beings in our image…”
- Source – “He breathed the breath of life…”
- Blessing – “Then God blessed them…”
- Purpose – Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth.
- Authority – Reign over creation.
God’s dream for you, His breath in you, His blessing over you, His purpose for you, and His authority through you — these are unshakable.
2. Adam’s “Doing” – The Loss
- Questioned identity – “Did God really say…?”
- Trusted self over Spirit.
- Rejected blessing – blame, shame, condemnation.
- Lost purpose.
- Surrendered authority.
Genesis 2:17 (NLT) – “If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”
3. Death Symptoms vs. Life Symptoms
Proverbs 29:18 (NLT) – “When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.”
John 10:10 (NLT) – “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
| Death Symptoms | Life Symptoms |
|---|---|
| Hiding from God | Running to God |
| Blaming others | Taking responsibility |
| Living in shame | Walking in grace |
| Feeling condemned | Living secure in love |
Death was the consequence of Adam’s doing; life is the outcome of Jesus’ undoing.
4. Jesus’ Undoing – The Replay in Reverse
- Identity – “This is my dearly loved Son…” (Matt 3:17)
- Blessing – “…in whom I am well pleased.”
- Authority – “It is written…” (Matt 4)
- Purpose – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to set the oppressed free.” (Luke 4:18-19)
5. The Product of the Undoing – Grace
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (NLT) – “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? … But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Grace is not God ignoring your past; it’s God rewriting it.

Your testimony is someone else’s survival guide.
