WE HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS


Who am I? We have a tendency to look for our identity in the external, defining ourselves or identifying with what we do. We allow our careers, relationships, appearance, and our feelings become the defining characteristics of who we see ourselves as.

Sadly we have based our identity on what we do or how we live, which in no way makes up our true identity. But that is exactly the lie that so many of us have believed, bought into, embraced, and even celebrated. It is for this reasoning and other factors that much of today’s world, as well as the Churchand most Christian believers live in an identity crisis. Having forgotten who we are, having forgotten who God has said we are, and no longer understanding ourselves as God’s people.

Our identity, who we are, is defined by Christ alone! It is Jesus and Him only who has the right and the authority to define our identity. We have to accept what God says about us, agree with Him that what He declares is true of us and become the spiritual people He designed each of us to be.

Come with Dr. Richard Burkhalter as he leads you through the Bible text to show you who God said you are!
