Identity
When you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
Finding your identity in Christ is the most important thing you can do during your time on Earth. When you believe in Jesus Christ, God gives you the Holy Spirit to prove that you belong to God and are guaranteed your inheritance of eternal life. When you are tempted to find your identity in other places, look to God’s Word to show you who you really are—his very own child, known and loved by him.
