You are Your Commitments

You are more than your past – you are also shaped by your future. When you have a clear vision of your future, with certainty and faith in it’s reality, it has a way of reaching back to the present and drawing you into it.

Life forces us all to ask ourselves again and again – who am I? What do I believe? What do I stand for? What are my boundaries? For most of us, the last two years… this pandemic forced us to change.

In Christ, some boundaries get REMOVED and others get REINFORCED. Both are foundational to your identity as a follower of Jesus, and to the kind of life you’re called to live every day.

As we continue in this series about our identity, take a moment to consider that your actions are the part of your identity that most reveals to the world who you are – they are the outworking of everything else that you are.

The truth is, Satan is trying to steal your identity. He plants lies in your mind. And then he gets you to repeat them to yourself until you think they’re true. That’s when you lose your identity.

Life is all about relationships – we breathe, drink, eat, digest, and dream about relationships; we are dealing with different kinds of relationships 24/7 – family, relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbours, etc.

Our personal history reveals our identity. Both nature and nurture play an integral part of the formation and development of our identity.

Today, we’re going to talk about identity and our bodies. How many of you know that our culture is obsessed with our bodies? You are more than your body. Your significance doesn’t come from your looks, your size or your fitness. It comes from you identity in Christ.
