Romans 8:15b-17a “…you received the spirit of sonship as God’s adopted children. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are His children, then we are His heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ…”
As I picked up my online order at the Walmart counter, I was asked to show my driver’s license to verify my identity.
My husband has “Ask for ID” written on the back of his credit cards.
Passports, birth certificates, fingerprints, passwords on various accounts—all in an effort to assure others that we are who we say we are.
Some people suffer from an identity crisis, unsure of their role in life. They say they don’t know the “real them.”
Our identity here on earth includes more than just our name, age, etc. It is also our values, our beliefs, and our personality…the roles we play in our community and our families.
But, as Christians, our identity is “who we are in Christ.” We have been adopted into God’s family. We are brothers and sisters who are heirs to all that God has, through Christ. As Co-Heirs to the Kingdom of God, we share in all the status, rights, and privileges of His beloved son, Jesus.
We never have to worry that our identity will ever change or be challenged. Those who have faith in Christ belong to HIM.
