Three Questions We All Ask Ourselves:

1. Who am I? (Identity)

2. Where do I belong? (Security)

3. What am I supposed to do? (Significance)

Why is it so hard to answer these questions?

8 Now they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Genesis 3:8-13 NASB

Three Obstacles to Getting Right Answers:

1. Fear rooted in shame.

2. Hiding rooted in insecurity.

3. Blaming rooted in denial.

Goal: that you will never forget who you are.

Read these three passages and answer the questions.

1. Psalm 139:13-14: God uniquely created you. You are eternally valuable. How has God shown you that you are treasured?

2. Ephesians 2:19-22: God placed you in His family. You are unconditionally accepted. Is it hard for you to believe that you are unconditionally accepted by God? Why or why not?

3. Ephesians 2:10: God gifted you to fulfill His purpose. You are uniquely significant. What passions, skills, talent, and resources has God gifted you with? How can you use them to bring glory to God?
