Source of Identity

- Followers of Jesus should also seek their identity from heaven, not earthly sources.
Earthly Identities
- Many derive their identity from earthly sources like performance, possessions, pleasure, or popularity.

- Basing your identity on fleeting things leads to insecurity and unhappiness when those things disappear.
