Becoming a Christian is the conduit for a fun loving life. Many who profess to be Christian do not fully own their identity as Christians. This is because they do not understand the transition that has taken place and also are constantly pressured to still carry their old identity thinking it is cooler- but we cannot sit on a fence. Many also see becoming a Christian as the ticket to heaven and not a chance for heaven to operate through their lives on earth. It is more like “I’m Christian, my heaven is secured, now let me go on with life, I’m on God’s side”. When we become Christians we have a new identity. The old self is no more and we have welcomed a new self. We must understand that things will not be as they are anymore.
Take a moment to Think and Declare
Am I owning my identity as a Christian? How am I owning it? In what areas must I do better?
Declaration
Heavenly Father, thank You for the new life I have in You. I pray for grace to be able to carry my new identity wherever I go in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
