Thoughts On Identity, Part 3

“Know who you are, like who you are, be who you are.” I read these words a long time ago and can’t take credit for them. But I can take a lot of wisdom from them, and so can you, because they echo what the Bible teaches in our search for identity. The Bible tells us who are are. According to the book of Ephesians, we who are in Christ are chosen, holy, blameless, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, marked and sealed by the Holy Spirit, seated in heavenly places, and created for good works, to mention only a few. What’s not to like about being a person like that? The challenge is actually being who we are, living like the person Christ has made us to be. Don’t let others define you, don’t let the lies you believe define you, let Jesus define you. “Jesus, help us to know who we really are in You, like who we are, and actually live like the people we are in You.”
