We are continuing in our series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to figure out who they are, to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important. The good news for us is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity.
So far, we’ve looked at different realities that have become true about those believe in Christ. Identity defining realities. Things that have happened to us or our happening to us that are not up for debate. Those of us who are in Christ have been justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we have been redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, we have been reconciled— God has made us his friends. We have been adopted into God’s own family. He has made us new creations, giving us spiritual life. He has made us members of His household and citizens in His kingdom. He has made us saints, and because we are saints, we are being sanctified by Him, made more and more like Jesus. And in Him, as we saw in the last episode, we are eternally secure. God will keep us to the end. No one will snatch us out of His hand. All these things are true about our identity now. If you’re in Christ, they’re not up for debate. This is who we are.
In our next four episodes, even though we are continuing with this same theme of our Identity in Christ, we are going to make a minor shift. Instead of looking at realities that are true of us, we are going to look at realities that ought to be true of us if we understand what Christ has done for us. What we should be pursuing or becoming in light of Christ’s work in our lives. Today we will see that for those who know and believe in Christ, we ought to be worshipers.
