- Our identity in Christ. In a world that incessantly dictates who we should be, it's vital to grasp the truth of who God says we are. Genesis 1:27 reminds us that we are intentionally created in God's image, imbued with inherent worth and purpose. Through Christ, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are made new creations, liberated from past mistakes and embraced in forgiveness and transformation.
Analogously, just as a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly, inviting Jesus into our hearts brings forth a profound transformation, enabling us to soar and fulfill our purpose. Amidst a world where many adopt the identity of celebrities, it's imperative to consider whether such identities can truly make us new creations. Instead, adopting Christ's identity offers a superior path to transformation and purpose.
Crucially, aligning our will with Christ's is pivotal. Romans 12:2 encourages us to be transformed by renewing our minds, relinquishing our plans for God's will. Surrendering to His guidance leads to liberation from depression, anxiety, and lust. Reflecting on areas of struggle and inviting God's guidance fosters obedience and peace.
Accepting and becoming Christ-like elevates us beyond ordinary individuals; we become part of a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), chosen to represent God's kingdom on earth. This priesthood entails being conduits of God's love, justice, and truth in our environments. Considering daily opportunities to embody our priestly calling fosters impactful living.
Five Keys to Living out our Identity in Christ -
1. Wisdom in Speech and Actions (Proverbs 10:19, Nehemiah 4:9)
2. Leadership through Service (Proverbs 11:14, Nehemiah 5:14-15)
3. Commitment to Excellence (Proverbs 22:29, Nehemiah 6:3)
4. Integrity in Relationships (Proverbs 20:7, Nehemiah 13:14)
5. Prayer and Dependence on God (Proverbs 3:5-6, Nehemiah 1:4-11)
