You better know who you are and whose you are. Money, fame, or fortune, not even your education defines who you are, because you might be able to buy certain things to portray a certain image on the outside, but inside could be rotten as a spoiled egg. As a Christian your identity is from inside out. We are made in God’s image and likeness, as we read in (Genesis 1:26-28). This means our characteristics, personality, etc. should be like our Daddy/Heavenly Father. If we portray or display anything different from love and compassion then you have the wrong daddy.
Must I remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your substance was not hidden from God, even though it was a secret between your parents, it was never a secret from God (Psalms 139:13-15). When you came into the world God looked at you and said that you are good. Which means if you don’t see and know it for yourself, then no one else will notice. Self confidence and esteem begins with you. If you can’t identify yourself, then you are hopelessly lost, to sin and the devil, because you have allowed him to cover your eyes. However, you can change all that.
First you must realize that you are a child of God not the devil. John 3:16 tells us that God so loved us, He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life. This is where your identity comes into effect, because John 1:12-13 tells us, “But as many as received Him (Jesus) to them gave he power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of men, but of God.”
“Behold, what manner of love the Father (God) hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God. Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not; Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is, and everyone who has this hope in Him should purify themselves, because He is pure.” ——————————————1 John 3:1-3
Don’t allow the devil to steal your identity. You belong to God and no one on earth can take care of you, love you, protect you, comfort you, and guide you like your Heavenly Father. Stand up and identify yourself. “For it is God who worked in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure, do all things without murmurings and disputing; that you may be blameless and harmless children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom we shine as lights in the world.” (Philippians 2:13-15).
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remained in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” —————-1 John 3:9-10
