We cannot find self-worth apart from God. The purpose of image bearers of God is to display the image of God on earth. But because of Satan and sin, that image has become distorted. Instead of looking to the Creator, we now look to the created to define who we are. In this lesson, we will discover God’s original intent for humanity and how it relates to our new identity in Christ. Our true identity and worth is not defined by our achievements, situation, or circumstances; it is a gift from God and cannot be earned.
Your true identity and purpose is to reveal in God’s design and desire for His image bearers.
