Who are you?

How did you get your identity?

What are you here for?

It is such great joy to be able to know and comprehend who we really are. IF NOT, THEN THAT IS CALLED

“IDENTITY CRISIS”.

Many people are unhappy because they cannot settle their identity. People often define identity around their :

Performance and Success

Failures and Possessions

Affiliations and

Accomplishments

1 Peter 2:9–10 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

This is our CORPORATE/INDIVIDUAL

identity.

What gives us our identity is not color or

culture, but chosenness.

We are the not just the objects of his

choice, but the objects of his mercy.

GOD CHOSE YOU TO BE WITH HIM

FOR ETERNITY.

You are set apart for

God.

You exist for God.

God is holy, so you are holy.

If you do not act in a holy way, you act out of

character; you contradict your essence as a

Christian.

The point here is first that you have

immediate access to God.

You have an exalted, active role in God's

presence.

that you may proclaim the

excellences/praises of Him who has called

you out of darkness into His marvelous

light” v9.

We are who we are because of

God’s sovereign call.

WE DID NOT

EARN IT.

Christian you cannot talk about your

identity without talking about the action

of God on you, the relationship of God

with you, and the purpose of God for you.

God has given us our identity in

order that his identity might be

proclaimed through us.

Our DESTINY IS

DEPENDING ON HOW

WE LIVE OUT OUR

IDENTITY.

being a Christian and making

the greatness of God known

are one and the same.

God made us who we are to

show the world who HE is.
