God's Better Story on Identity

Scripture is clear, my identity is not in my relational status, my sexuality, my gender, my profession, my ministry, or my position in society. My identity is in God. An identity based on my culture will always be flawed because every culture has been infected by the power and brokenness of sin. An identity based on my internal dialogue and emotion will always be flawed because I am flawed – loved by God but flawed – if I base my identity on my emotion and my thoughts, it will change with the tide. But an identity based on what God says about me is eternal!
