1) Creation Identity
Genesis 1:26-27 NLT Then God said, “Let us make human beings[a] in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth,and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” 27 So God created human beings[c] in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Genesis 3:1-5 NLT The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made.One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?” 2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch ; if you do, you will die.’” 4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to thewoman. 5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

2) Family Identity
Genesis 12:1-3 NLT The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
John 1:12 NLT But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.
Ephesians 1:5 NLT God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
3) Christ Identity
Galatians 3:28 NLT 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 NLT The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. 13 Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized
into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:27 NLT All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
