 Much of our identity comes from our own view of who we are, or who we want to be, as a person

 The question: who, or what, is the best source of identity for a believer?

Let the Scriptures be the guiding source for who you were meant to be

The Bible gives us names and phrases in describing followers of Jesus

Acts 11:26 NKJV
And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Christian

     A follower of a person or set of beliefs; One who is like…; Belonging to…

Christian

     Following Jesus

     Becoming like Jesus

      Belonging to God

1 Peter 2:9-10 NKJV
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Chosen Generation

 Royal Priesthood

Holy Nation

The People Of God

2 Corinthians 2:15 NKJV
For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
