In a world that tries to define you by our achievements, appearance, or status, it’s easy to lose sight of your identity, or who you truly are. The Bible offers timeless wisdom showing that your identity is not rooted in what you do, but how Christ sees you. When you know your identity as God sees you, it transforms how you live, love, and lead.  

Let these Scripture truths reveal your true identity in Christ.
