Spiritual Identityنمونہ

A deeper knowledge of God can lead us into a deeper recognition of our spiritual identity.  

The apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian Christians that the new things that comprise our spiritual identity as new creatures are from God who reconciled us to Himself through Christ:

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). 

As believers, we are sons and daughters of God, and in coming to know our Heavenly Father better, we are also coming to a deeper knowledge of our true selves—our true spiritual identity. 

I want to continue to challenge you to plunge deeper into a more intimate, relational knowledge of God. As we study His Word and communicate with Him in prayer, we come to know more and more of the deep love of the Father for His children, the Father who was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our trespasses against us (2 Corinthians 5:19).

Try to consistently challenge your common identity markers with the reality of who you are in Christ Jesus.
