Identity: Who Am I Outside of This?
A study on grounding identity in Christ instead of in pain, performance, disappointment, or the opinions of others.
Study Overview
Hard seasons can distort identity. We begin to define ourselves by failure, delay, loss, or what others have done to us. Ephesians 1 piles truth upon truth about who believers are in Christ, and 1 Peter 2 reminds us that we are chosen and called out of darkness. This study helps re-anchor the heart in what is eternally true.
Read and Reflect
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession."
- How has this season tempted you to describe yourself inaccurately?
- Which truth from these passages do you most need to hear again today?
- What would change if you related to this season as someone already chosen, loved, and secure in Christ?
Prayer Prompt
Jesus, correct the lies I have believed about myself. Help me live from the security of being Yours, not from the instability of my circumstances.
Action Step
Make a short list titled "Who I am in Christ" and fill it with five statements drawn from the passages. Read them aloud each morning this week.
