Discovering Your True Identity In Christ

The world is full of lies: "We know that we are children of God and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one" (1 John 5:19 NIV). We all try to look for the answer to the question of who we are in the knowledge of the world. We all try to gain our self-value and build our life based on our own understanding and with our own hands. What is the result? It's time to begin to break the lies and replace them with truth! This is the reason Discovering Your True Identity in Christ was written. This is the Lord's desire for you, to set you free from the lies and live for his glory!

Athlete. Son. Honor Student. Artist. Brother. Runner. Geek. Boyfriend. Gamer. Musician. Actor. Rebel. Can you find your identity in any of these labels? You can certainly try, but the problem is that they're all manmade. If you put your hope in any one of them, it will fail. Your identity can seem like a mystery, but Revealed takes you on a hands-on investigation to discover the truth. Who you are is more than your grades, your looks, or your athletic skills. And your true; identity can only be revealed to you by the One who truly knows you. The One who created you. The One who holds all wisdom. God has already opened the door, and now it's your turn to walk through it and discover who He has made you to be. Book jacket.

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DEFINES YOU? WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY? How you answer those questions affects every aspect of your life: personal, public, and spiritual. So it’s vital to get the answer right. Pastor and best-selling author Mark Driscoll believes false identity is at the heart of many struggles—and that you can overcome them by having your true identity in Christ. In Who Do You Think You Are?, Driscoll explores the question, “What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’?” In the process he dissects the false-identity epidemic and, more important, provides the only solution—Jesus. “This book will give you an unshakeable, biblical understanding of who you are in Christ. When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.” —Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv and author of Soul Detox, Clean Living in a Contaminated World “I spent years in ministry for Christ without understanding my identity in Christ. I know now that I was not alone. When, by the grace of God, we understand who we are in Christ, everything else can crumble and we will still be standing. I highly commend this book to you.” —Sheila Walsh, speaker and author of God Loves Broken People
