Who Are You?

Who Are You?

WHO ARE YOU?

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 1 Corinthians 6:17

“Who are you?” Have you been asked that question before? Sounds like a simple question requiring a simple straightforward answer. People usually answer that question by giving their name – ‘my name is John Doe.’ However, your name is not really who you are. It is what you are called. Others mention their nationality, professional rank or denomination.

Who are you? If your name was changed would it still be you? Of course! What about if your nationality, profession or denomination changed? Would you still be you? Yes, of course! That simply means you are more than your name or other things you use to identify yourself. You are more than your physical features or possessions.

Many define themselves by what they do – ‘I’m a nurse’ or ‘I’m a pastor.’ Others identify themselves by religious affiliation – ‘I’m a Catholic’ or ‘I’m a Charismatic.’ However, none of these really answer the question, ‘who are you?’

The real you is a spirit created in the image of God. You are a spirit being. You are not just a social or physical being. You were a spirit before you put on flesh. When all the external identities are stripped off, you will find your true identity.

If your spirit is in union with Christ, you can boldly proclaim, ‘I am a child of God.’ If your spirit is in union with Satan, then you are Satan’s. You are who you are because of whom you belong to.

Whose you are determines who you are. Are you Christ’s? If you are then you have your answer. You are a child of the Most High God. Say it loud, ‘I’m a child of God.’

Prayer: By faith, confess that you are a child and an heir of God.
