An identity rooted in anything other than what God says about us is a misplaced identity. Any other identity is inadequate and can be lost. You cannot do this solo, identifying those inadequate identities is a key part of growing to be more like Jesus. Just identifying those inadequate identities isn’t enough’ we must also replace them with an identity rooted in who God says we are. However, identifying those inadequate and misplaced identities is not an easy process, especially if we’re doing it alone. Determining if you’ve rooted your identity somewhere other than what Jesus says about you can be as difficult. “For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him” Romans 6:5-8 (NKJV).

There are many who wear masks to hide who they are, because they feel they don’t measure up to what others expect from them, or even what they expect of themselves. Many have lived their entire lives not knowing who their real identities are! Many can’t understand why they have such a difficult time in embracing their true selves! But, when you can embrace who you are becoming all God created you to be, you will no longer have the desire or need to run from your true identity in Christ. our identity in Christ is part of accepting His gift of eternal life through faith. Jesus gave His life on earth and rose from the grave to conquer death and sanctify those who believe in Him. When we become followers and believers in Jesus, we lose our identity of this world and embrace our identity in Christ. Our identity in Christ is being a member of His body, the church. “But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” 1 Corinthians 12:20-27 (NKJV).
