“Dear children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 TPT
As a Christian , you’ll hear a lot of opinions about who you are. Most people aren’t shy about telling people what they’re doing right and what they’re doing wrong.
But remember this: None of what others say about you defines you. Your identity isn’t found in your job title, or the approval of men. Your true identity is rooted in Jesus Christ.
You are a child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You are a part of God’s family. You were created in his image. God loves you. That identity doesn’t change, no matter how you feel on a Monday morning after a long weekend.
Your Creator knows you. Jesus died for you. The Holy Spirit empowers you. You have the Trinity behind you. You don’t have to worry about men critics because they have no real power over you.
David understood this. Even though he was one of Israel’s greatest kings, his identity wasn’t in his position but in his relationship with God.
Let your identity in Christ shape your confidence, guide your decisions, and fuel your passion. If God is for you, what can people do to you that would change who you are and how God feels about you? Not a thing.
Shalom!
