Identity

There are four primary perspectives that shape our identity: 

1) What the enemy says about us. (accusation and lies)

The enemy says: You can figure it out. God says: I’ll direct your steps. The enemy says: You are too tired. God says: I will give you rest. The enemy says: You can’t forgive yourself. God says: I forgive you.

2) What others believe or say about us. (judgment/comparison)

3) What we feel about ourselves. (insecurity or overconfidence)

Remember we live in Christ and not our circumstances.

4) What God says and believes about us. (truth and liberty)

-You Are Valuable: I am the Creator and you are my creation. I breathed into your nostrils the breath of life. I created you in my own image. (Gen 1:27)

-You Are New: In my eyes, you are a brand-new creation. The old has passed away; the new has come. (2 Cor 5:17)

-You Have My Spirit: Christ is in you by my Spirit, and you are in Christ. (John 5:15)

-You Will Be Transformed: As you seek me and see more of my glory, I am transforming you into the image of my Son. (2 Cor 3:18)

-You Represent Me: Therefore, walk in a manner worthy of your calling. (Ephesians 4:18)
