VIRTUOUS YOUNG BRIDES: SELF ESTEEM SERIES OVERVIEW PART 1


 This week (June 28, 2021- July 1, 2021), we were challenged to think about our identity and its source. "Who are you?" was the question to ponder upon. Identity is an important aspect of life. Our identity in Christ as believers is one that empowers us and guides our lives as we journey heavenward. Here is a review and some points to keep in mind regarding our identity in Christ. I pray you are blessed by it. 

πŸ“ŒTrue identity is found in Jesus Christ our Creator and Savior. Therefore, being born again is essential 


πŸ“ŒDiscovery of our identity makes us confident to live a bold and courageous Christian life 


πŸ“ŒKnowing our identity positions us on the path of our purpose on earth


πŸ“ŒKnowing our identity helps us to make the right decisions because we have a heavenly Guide! 


πŸ“ŒOur identity in Christ makes us content because with Christ we have all things
