Oh my identity! What is it? It's a human identification or description of one's self.
Who I say I am is rather irrelevant! Yes, it is! Really? Yes! Really!
Who You Say I am - Hillsong
Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me?
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
Free at last, He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
Oh, I am who You say I am
Yes, I am who You say I am
Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

This world has been trying to redefine everything about people. Coming up with personal pronouns that you must legally use. Coming up with all sorts of perversions of what God intended for man and woman and child.
Children are being scrutinized and studied. Once a shred of a behavioral type is seen, they are pushed along that path. It's no wonder suicides are at an all time high.
Why? Why? Well, if you have been reading my blog or reading your Bible for any length of time you know of Satan. His joy is to persuade people to go contrary to the laws of God. To get mankind to kindle the wrath of God. He cares not at all about what happens to people as long as there's some entity that worships him.
People are going to hell on a highway because of his deceptions and lies.
Our identity in Christ is secured by Christ.
When the world says we are losers, Jesus is there to show we are not. When the world says we are misguided, Jesus is there to show His wisdom on the matter.
When the world says we are weak and have no hope, Jesus is there to say, look up, Child, your salvation is at hand.
In all that Satan does there's no hope. Only a false, temporary success that will never last. The perversion of the human body from one gender to the next has to be completed with surgery and a lifetime of drugs to maintain it. Without the drugs, the body reveals the truth...it tries to return to that which God made it to be.
In a world where success also defines identity, the only area of success in a believer is what Jesus says it is.
The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching all the innermost parts of his being. Proverbs 20:27
What is another reason for what it says in Revelation of "weeping and gnashing of teeth"? People will see themselves as God intended them to be seen as. Any whom went through surgeries to alter themselves will once again be as they were born to be. You see, in that day, the flesh matters not. In that day you stand before God the Son as you are INSIDE. Your Spirit cannot be altered by man's methods. Sin deceives. It tries to convince you of lies as being truth. You may change your body but you will not change who God says that you are.
As its been brought to bear lately, the phrase, "Just because you repeat a lie, it doesn't make it the truth". Also, just because a lie is repeated by the majority ir doesn't make it the truth.
God's truth stands.
In that day we are before Jesus, we will be as He sees us to be. As He created us to be. Those in Christ, who accepted His gift of Salvation will spend eternity with Him. Those who did not, will spend eternity separated from Him in the Lake of fire. A place worse than Hell since Hell will be cast into it as well. What is revealed in the end is truth. For the believer, when we face Jesus, all of our lives will be put to the flame. What remains is the truth of our lives. Only that which is pure and holy in God's eyes remains. Our Salvation is secured in Christ and what remains is given back to Him.
For the unbelievers...their lives too will be put to the flame. But the outcome is different. What remains means nothing without Christ's Salvation. The truth reveals that all who do not have Jesus fall short. Nobody's works are enough to save them in the day of Judgement.
So consider the truth of your identity.
Seek Jesus while He can still be found. Seek the real truth that is only found in a right relationship with Jesus.
Don't treat Salvation as a get out of Hell free card. It's not a license to go do what you want in life with your life. He died for you...live for Him.
