Find Your Identity in Christ

How many times do we need to be burned by the deceptive nature of sin before we guard ourselves more fully in God's Word and godly influences? Why do we try to prop ourselves up with anything and everything that we can find, even things deceptive and even destructive to our well-being? Many things work against growth in Christ. Many times we find ourselves reaching for such fool's gold that when we come to our senses we feel like fools. That's what sin does to us, it blinds us to reality. So why do I reach for what ruins and distances and obliterates? Trying to fill a void only God can fill. Trying to identify myself when I am already identified with the King of kings and Lord of lords, my only God and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am deeply rooted and built up in Him. God can clear our vision and refocus us on what is true. Allow the Book to sink in deeply to your soul...

Col. 1:27 "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
Col. 3:4 "Christ, who is your life"
Ephesians 6:10 "Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might."

There is ample proof in the Word of God, our identity is truly rooted in Christ. And those indwelt by the Spirit have that truth impressed upon them.
