What makes up your identity? Perhaps you have blonde hair, brown hair, black hair, or red hair. Perhaps you are light-skinned or dark-skinned. Perhaps you have green eyes, or brown eyes, or blue eyes. Perhaps you are tall or short. Perhaps you’re quiet or outspoken. Perhaps you’re organized or you fly by the seat of your pants. Perhaps you like to read, or to cook, or to play an instrument, or to play a sport, or to care for animals, or to take pictures, or to write, or to create art, or to hike. Perhaps you’re a mother, sister, daughter, or friend. Perhaps you’re a Christian or just seeking more about what this Jesus thing is all about.

All these things make up our identity. They make up who we are. But those who are Christians have an identity that is far more important and valuable than their eye color or their favorite hobby.
