The world says "I've gotta be true to myself" or "That's just who I am" or "it's right for me."
The Bible likewise calls us to live who we are, but it means something totally different ... it's talking about our new identity that God has given us in Christ and that we need to learn to live according to who God has made us.
Nowhere is this theme presented any more clearly than in Colossians 3.
