Rom 12:3 (MSG) The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

As believers, the basis of our identity is based on Who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for us.

Identity Thieves:

A. RELATIONSHIPS.

Prov 19:22 What a man desires is unfailing love

B. APPEARANCE

Your physical body was never meant to be the foundation for your identity

C. SUCCESS

D. PAST

Finding Who we are by Finding Who God is

Rom. 1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God

1. SERVANT OF CHRIST JESUS

2. CALLED TO BE AN APOSTLE

• Judg. 3:31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.
• Col. 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,

3. SET APART

Ps 139:1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
