2/2
Welcome to the 21st century where you can now purchase and exchange personalities, pending on mood and circumstance; where you are told that you can be anyone you wato be, and identity is no longer based in a sense of self but rather in the imagery youchoose at that moment.
The Bible contains a radically different way of understanding our identity. The path thathas chosen for us to discover who we really are is the path of holiness. The most excitinthing is that this path is not for otherworldy saints, rather it is a path of earthy, gutsy hness. It's a path that is not about basing your life on this world or of shunning your desInstead, it is about bringing your hopes, your dreams, your brokenness, your desires, yhumanness under the Lordship of Christ. By doing this we don't just discover a new way
living out our faith, we discover a liberating, revolutionary, life-embracing way of beingtruly human.
