Spiritual Identity

  As I was doing my Gideon study, the writer asked about spiritual identity and wanted us to look closer at our own.
I began to ponder on that and think, well it's easy, it's something pretty straight forward if you are a Christian, you get your spiritual identity from knowing what a Christian is. Your spiritual identity is "Christ Follower". Pretty simple and straight forward. If only it were that easy to walk and believe in that and go forward.
    Often our own spiritual identity is based on baggage that we carry into our relationship with Christ, and then how we are developed in that relationship. It should be based on what we read in God's word, but often in that early relationship, we don't read God's word like we should, we rely on man to guide us, usually believing every word a pastor says or preaches. Or better yet, some book we bought because it sounded good and was interesting and now you beliefs are based on some created theology that doesn't even line up with the Bible.

  I want to stress to all new Christians or even Christians that have not studied God's word to get in there and study. Read it for yourself, find out for yourself and experience God for yourself.

Experience God

We all strive to feel good and look good, we work out, we read self help books, we meditate, we do yoga, and we read to improve our mind and for entertainment. So what are we doing for our Spiritual self? What are you doing for your Spiritual Identity?

I want to challenge you today to find God.
Don't rely on man, Find God, learn his character, his hope for you and his end for you. Find God  and enjoy the spiritual identity he intended for you and the wonderful, FULL life he intended for you to have!!!
