Unshakable Identity

January 13, 2025

One of the greatest truths of the Christian faith is that our identity is secure in Christ. The world often tries to define us by our accomplishments, mistakes, or even by what others think of us. But when we come to Jesus, we are given an identity that cannot be shaken.

2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” In Christ, you are not your past, your failures, or your fears. You are a new creation—redeemed, loved, and chosen by God.

Satan will try to deceive you, whispering lies about your worth or reminding you of your mistakes. But God’s Word declares the truth about who you are:

• You are a child of God (John 1:12).

• You are forgiven (Ephesians 1:7).

• You are God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).

• You are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).

When you feel unsure or unworthy, anchor yourself in God’s truth. Let His promises remind you of your unshakable identity in Him. The more you focus on who God says you are, the more confident you’ll be in living out His purpose for your life.

Question to Ponder:

What lies about your identity do you need to replace with God’s truth today?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for giving me a new identity in Christ. Help me to reject the lies of the enemy and to stand firm in who You say I am. Teach me to live confidently as Your child, trusting in Your love and purpose for my life. Thank You for making me new. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
