Identity In Christ

(Scroll Down)

Who Are You?

One of the key tasks in our followership of Jesus is (re)discovering our identity. Knowing who you are and who God made you to be is formative for every person. God has made us a new person in Christ, so we are. Our identity is no longer based on “hoop-jumping” or “box-checking” or who others say we are, what our past says we are, or even what our future might hold. Identity flows from whose we are breathing life into our lives through our union with Christ.

Identity by Sonlife Ministries

A theologian named A.W. Tozer once stated that, ” What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” In this statement, Tozer is saying that your theology affects everything about you. If affects your actions and your relationships and especially your goals in life. Everyone’s a theologian because theology is simply the study of God. This means that everyone, whether devout Catholic or firm atheist, has thoughts and beliefs about the world and the existence or nonexistence of a higher power. Studying theology (who God is) will help us understand who and whose we are.
