My mind and heart for weeks now have dove into the topic of identity. Do I allow
Christ to define me, or those around me? Am I living for them or for Him?
Our students seemed to grasp the concept and truth that Christ is the only one who can help us uncover who we truly are. He made us on purpose, with a purpose. We should desire to know Him more to also know our purpose more! The students also seemed to agree that rooting yourself in this truth is… challenging. I have to agree with them.
What am I rooting myself in? I want it to be nothing but Christ.
Here are a few things that I can do as I root my identity in Christ:
> Feel secure in who I am and who God created me to be.
> Stop pursing other things that distract me from who I was created to be.
> Root my identity in God’s word not peoples ever changing opinion.
> Know that with Christ the new has come and the old has passed away.
You can too.
“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.“
Psalm 139: 13-14
The truth is, if you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, you belong to Christ. He is your identity. Know this, WELL!
