Strengths, Weaknesses, Identity – What does it mean to be a true Christian? – Part 3
I’ll be the first to admit I am not the definition of perfection. But as a person who is seeking their identity here on earth what do we do to find it? The last days, months and years of my life have been a journey. First coming back to the Church of my youth after learning a great deal about the world around me and then learning what it really means to be part of the Church and a Christian. And I am sure this will be a lifelong journey at any rate. However, in this article I will talk about finding your identity here on earth, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Last, regardless of strengths or weaknesses that we may have, our identity ought to be in Christ (Genesis 1:27). There are so many pulls in this world for us to develop our own identities, by clothing, music taste, the food you eat, the people you hang out with, etc. But really, if you build your life on the solid foundation of Christ, in one way, you can be and do everything (Philippians 4:13)! We are all given our own talents some more than others and also different, God is not looking for robots. We still have freedom of choice. But He is asking us to put our trust in Him first. He is asking us to let Him lead us in our lives here on earth, with Him and others. I have often heard that God is creating more of His children, in us through Christ (Galatians 3:26). Could we ask for anything more? God is our Father and Christ is our friend. We have a loving God who is building a family that will last for eternity! How would you like to be a part of that plan?
