Check out this post about where your identity rely as a christian here. The answer is Jesus! Most of you would know this answer already, but when you say your identity rely in Jesus, do you really mean it?? I sometimes say it without knowing what it really means to me. I would say my identity rely on Jesus but then my action doesnt reflect on it. I would make myself busy with helping out at church, helping my friends, and work hard in my study because all those things give me identity (identity that can be seen by people too). My life would be surrounded with so many things but Jesus.
That post reminded me that i dont need to do anything to find my identity because it relies on Jesus. It relies on Jesus because he bought me with his blood. It is so easy to fall into temptation like this. So busy with all the things that i have to do and eventually shifting my true identity away from Jesus. I know that Jesus died for me to save me, but because im so busy, my work is much more important than Jesus and this is what defines me. If i fail in completing my work, i would mean nothing. My life becomes me centered instead of jesus centered.
I belong to Jesus now, so my identity would rely on Jesus too. It is like the identity that i get from my parents because i belong to my parents.
