Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17 - NIV
Written by Nate Thompson
Who are you? Are you what you do? A cheerleader, a goalie, a linebacker? Or are you what you have achieved? MVP, Honor Roll Student, a Winner? Are you the things you have done right? Or defined by the things you've done wrong? What about what others think? Are you all of that? None of that? Who are you?
Finding your Identity
As a young person it is often hard to know who you are. You are trying to find your own identity, but are you looking the right places? Many young athletes define themselves by their sport, their role in the team or how good they are in that position. School, sports and friends are all amazing things and can be great in your life, however these are not all the things that define you. There is a more important calling to your life, a call from God who created you, who loves you and who helps you reach your purpose in this life. The world feeds you other “purposes” but when you push that away and allow God to show you what you were made for, you begin to know yourself more.
Your Identity in Christ
The bible often reminds us of who we are, a beloved creation of God. In the New Testament, identity in Christ is mentioned A LOT. We are told that we are created and chosen by God to follow Jesus as disciples. Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Jesus was sent to take our sin, so that we could be redeemed and be the righteousness of God that we were created to be. By following Jesus and obeying Jesus’ command from John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” Our main purpose in Christ is to share the gospel and the love of Jesus to all that we can.
Purpose as a New Creation
When we accept our purpose, given to us from God in Christ, we begin to be a new creation, like stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17. Following your purpose as a new creation in Christ means you should pursue Him in all things. If you want to follow God’s will for your life, do these three things:
1. Know God- An experiential knowledge, not just Bible trivia, experience God’s Presence and get to know Him. Knowing God will make you wiser and clearer on your purpose.
2.Be Transformed- as said best by John Ortberg, “God’s primary will for your life is not so much about what you do but who you become.”
3.Do Good- as Micah 6:8 says “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
