Assignment 19-Kathleen Gibbs

No one has ever sat me down and told me this advice or explicitly told it to me but my mom has been teaching me since I was an infant to know my identity in Christ. This has shaped my world. It is incredibly easy to get caught up in this technology and social media age and begin to feel like you aren’t enough or that you are “too much”. These are lies that we may believe and not even know, that may run thick in our personalities and hearts, but knowing who I am in Christ (though it may not always be easy) allows me to see through these lies of our fallen world and know who God says I am. I can always look to God’s Word and see who I really am. I am a child of God (John 1:12), I am a justified and redeemed (Romans 3:23-24, Romans 6:6), I am accepted by Christ (Romans 15:7), my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in me (1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19), and there’s more where that came from! Anytime this fallen world gets me bogged down, I can look to Christ and find my identity and you can too!
