I will not object!!!

     Honestly I had a hard time figuring out the gap in my identity in Christ. First of all I don’t think that much of Christians really think about it. If one is asked, who are you? Then we would find what real awkward silence is, and if someone tries to answer that question, then usually the answer is to general. This explains one thing, and that is that not every Christian is thinking on that subject.

     Through out my Christian life I thought of my identity, but I might’ve been looking the wrong way. As I thought about my identity I thought of my spiritual gifts. While spiritual gifts showed me my part in God’s kingdom they didn’t really tell me whom I am. After reviewing our identity in Christ I found it very helpful to memorize what the scriptures say about our identity.

     Scriptures focus on Christ’s identity instead of ours, and that is absolutely beautiful, because it simply means that Christ’s identity is my identity. It is absolutely remarkable to know that I am an expression of the life of Christ, whether I agree with it or not. I used to not want to agree with such statements, because my life doesn’t always support them. But I’m a human being; it means I still fall short often. As often as I try to be that expression of the life of Christ I fail time to time, and that is frustrating. Good news though, God does not concentrate on my failures, because He looks at me through Jesus, and in Christ I am what I am. If God sees me as an expression of Christ's identity, then who am I to object?
