Deep dives
Identity Grounded in God's Love and Calling
Our identity is often grounded in earthly things like performance, possessions, pleasure, or popularity. However, as followers of Jesus, our true identity is rooted in heaven. In Matthew chapter 3, we see Jesus finding his identity and calling from the voice of God, not from earthly sources. Similarly, as followers of Jesus, our identity and calling should come from the voice of God, not from the shifting sands of earthly achievements. Our identity is not determined by our past or present circumstances, but by our future in Christ. We are called to live up to our high and holy calling and become who we already are in Christ.
