I Identify As...
We are seeing the effects of an identity crisis in America. The breakdown of the family in our nation has created generations of people who don't know who they are. Instead of receiving our identity from our Creator, we find ourselves receiving a different identity. For many people, their identity is all about their sexuality, all about possessions, politics, pain and trauma, appearance, addictions, or even a sense of victimhood. We start attaching labels to ourselves that God never intended, and we begin living out of the wounds of our past instead of the truth of His Word.
When identity is built on anything other than Christ, it becomes fragile—shifting with emotions, circumstances, and cultural pressures. But when our identity is rooted in who God says we are, it becomes solid, secure, and life-giving. God’s desire is not that we define ourselves by what has happened to us, but by what He has done for us.
