Two of the aching questions of humans are, “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” In different seasons of life we attempt to find answers, desiring to know ourselves and be known. As believers, we have an identity. We have a purpose. We belong first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ. We draw our purpose, direction, example and identity from Him. We are children of God who are co-heirs with Christ. The living sacrifice of Jesus bought us forgiveness of sin, victory in this life, and an eternity secure in Heaven. He made us holy and He made us family—family with Him and family together with believers. Our purpose and focus in life is Christ and His kingdom. Finding our identity in Jesus changes everything. The pathway to discipleship involves living a life that reflects this new His identity. We no longer identify with the flesh, but with Christ. When we live according to our fleshly nature, it is a false identity. Our lives are to reflect all His identity calls to mind. We are to live in community with other believers, reaching toward the goal of bringing others the Good News of the gospel. In what ways do you need to embrace your identity in Chris and live more like Him? In what ways do other people see your true “Christ” identity in your words and actions? Father God, in the quietest parts of my life, I long for You. I long to know who I am and what I am to do. I find the answers all within You. Through Jesus I unashamedly choose to follow You. As Your child I rest in the fact that I belong to You. As Your servant, I seek to serve, As a part of the family, I accept the responsibilities that come with the family privileges. Thank you for calling me to You. Thank you for Your love that changed my everything. In Jesus name, Amen
