Who Am I?

“And the world is passing away along with its desires”
-1 John 2:17A

I AM

_
This scripture is a pretty sad way to start looking at who we are, where our identity is found, or what defines us.

When we are defined by ANYTHING of this world, there are a lot of downsides…

• Our identity can be taken.
• Our happiness is rooted in what we find our identity in.
• We are left never being enough.

“but whoever does the will of God abides forever.”
-1 John 2:17B

I AM HIS!
When we become a child of God, we SHOULD let ourselves be defined by HIM, because…

• He’s placed eternity on our hearts. (Proverbs)
• My identity can never be taken.
• My happiness is no longer circumstantial.
• I’m always enough.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
-2 Corinthians 5:17

I AM NEW

• The things that use to identify no longer define me.
• I now have the ability to become everything I was trying to be.
  
  • A good husband.
  • A good father.
  • A good employee.
  • A good friend.
