Who Are You? Wholeness and Identity
Have you ever heard the song "Who Are You?" by The Who? Written by Pete Townshend, the song explores themes of identity and self-reflection. Townshend penned this song after a tumultuous night in Soho, where he collapsed and was assisted home by a police officer who recognized him. This personal crisis, along with the pressures of the music industry, fed into the song's powerful lyrics, which repeatedly ask, "Who are you?"
This question is at the heart of our journey towards wholeness. Our current series, Becoming Whole, delves into the idea that everything we do flows from our sense of identity. If you're unsure of who you are, life can feel unstable. Fortunately, the Bible has much to say about identity, specifically about who we are in Christ.
Identity in Christ
The concept of being "in Christ" is pivotal to understanding our true identity. The Bible describes us as new creations in Christ. But what does that mean? It means that when we accept Christ, we are not just improved versions of our old selves. We are made completely new. Our old identities, shaped by our past mistakes and societal influences, are gone. In Christ, we receive a new, steadfast identity that does not change with external circumstances or personal feelings.
