What Is Your Identity?

[Reminder from previous weeks...]

Who am I?  There is only one way for a Christian to answer that question...  
Jesus' Works --> Jesus' Identity --> Christ's Accomplishments --> Our Identity --> Our Works
[that flow of words is from Shane Wood's "The Christian Life" class]  The flow of words can also be arranged as a chiasm… 

  • Jesus’ Works
    • Jesus’ Identity
      • Christ’s Accomplishments
    • Our Identity
  • Our Works

…as we have been seeing and as the above flow of words and chiasm illustrate, we find out who we are by looking at Jesus because His Acomplishments (as The Christ) give us Our Identity. 

“Why am I here?” is an OK question…but answering it only gives you a list of things to do...and let's face it, no one likes those lists (unless we are the one giving them).  A better question is “Who am I?” because when that is known (in the fullest sense of the word) then the other things fall into place.

The Bible says much about Our Identity, but a general problem within Christianity is what ought to be our identity is really only a label or title.  We have to own what the Bible says we are...
