What does it mean to have our identity in Christ?
The Bible tells us that when we accept Jesus’ sacrifice, we are new creatures. We lose our identity of this world and become pure, blameless and forgiven. And with this new identity, we become part of His body, where we are called to be a blessing to others in His name.
Whenever you’re going through an identity crisis, Scripture is an amazing reminder that in Him, we are chosen, and nothing can separate us from God’s unconditional love.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
