Thoughts On Identity, Part 2

Our true identity is ultimately found in our relationship with Christ – being “in Christ,” about whom the Father says, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well-pleased” (Matthew 3:17). Even though the Father said this to Jesus at His baptism, He is still saying it today to us who are His sons and daughters. And we can hear these words from the Father because we are in Christ, and what is true of Jesus is also true of us. As we begin to believe and receive this truth from the Father, we start to live out of a secure and settled identity, based on who God says we are. “Father, we need You to keep telling us who we really are in Your eyes.”
