In His Image: Discover Your True Identityਨਮੂਨਾ

Discovering Our Identity by Knowing God

The journey to discovering your true identity starts with one foundational truth: To know who you are, you must first know who God is. In Genesis 1:27, we read that we are created in the image of God. This means that our identity is directly tied to His nature. The more we understand who God is, the clearer our understanding of ourselves becomes.

When we try to define ourselves through worldly standards—by our achievements, failures, or even the opinions of others—we miss the deeper truth. Our identity is rooted in who God says we are. When you know God as love, light, creator, father, and judge, you begin to see yourself through His eyes, and that changes everything.

The search for identity is one of the greatest quests in human experience. We often look for validation and meaning in external sources—whether it’s in our relationships, careers, or accomplishments. But these things can’t provide lasting fulfillment. Only when we begin to understand our identity as God’s creation, designed in His image, do we uncover the true meaning of who we are and why we are here.

Throughout the next few days, we’ll explore five of God's attributes. Each one reveals more about who He is and, in turn, who we are. You are invited to step into a life of purpose and fulfillment by aligning your identity with God’s image. In doing so, you’ll discover that your true identity brings peace, purpose, and a deeper understanding of your relationship with the Creator.
