Identity
Read Romans 1.1-5
“.. to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith ..” (Rom.1.5)
‘Identity’ has become a key issue in society today, not least because as a nation we have lost our true roots. Paul’s identity was defined by reference to Jesus Christ: who Jesus is, what He’s done, and how He changes everything.
What terms does Paul use to describe his (new) identity as a believer, and how do these apply to you?
Your relationship with Jesus is key to your true identity: in what ways do the truths Paul declares about Jesus here enrich your relationship with Jesus?
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, that impressing on my heart that I am made in Your image, saved by Your grace, and indwelt by Your Spirit. Help me to live in that light today.
