Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States today. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have had their identities stolen each year. There are many companies that insure they will protect your identity.
Secular phycologists have promoted an idea called "crisis identity." An example of an identity crisis emerging from this status is an adolescent who become solitary after his identity as a star athlete is destroyed by a serious injury. There is much conflict between parents and cultural socialists. Our culture is trying to tell us that we should allow our children to choose their sexual identity, But I will leave that subject for another post.
But there is another identity crisis that people are often not aware of. Many people who profess the name "Christian" fail to realize their true identity in Christ. They fail to realize (and live like) they are they are a new person. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 When you are in Christ, you have a new identity. We need to stop living like orphans! WE are a child of God! WE belong to the family of God.
We need to have a new mind set. Romans 12:2 "...but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...." We need to rethink our identity. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. --Colossians 3:23
Remember who you are!
