Identity (Day 4 of 4)

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 — Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know ye him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Galatians 5:1 — Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 — Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

There is no such thing as a perfect identity. If you always try to be someone that others will like, you'll end up not having peace in your life. To have peace in our lives, we must listen to God and get comfortable being who He wants us to be. We're meant to rely on Him, to know His love for us, and trust that God shows us our identity.

Part of living a godly life is having a group of friends who support you in your relationship with Him. Being a part of a godly community is vital in not forgetting that who we are is defined by God and not others.

In this final episode, the three students must rely on each other to be reminded of who they are, and why having their identity in God is crucial. Watch what happens as all three students learn who God says they are in this episode of Erased.

QUESTION: Which of your friends and family help support you in your relationship with Christ?
