How do we KNOW who WE REALLY ARE?

Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.”  John 8:14 NIV

You know who you really are by knowing your origin and destination.

I know who I really am because I know where I come from and where I am going.

Not only this, but according to Jesus,  we also know that know one can tell us who we are if they don’t know where we come from or where we are going.  This is very empowering!

So who am I?

I am a son of God through faith in Christ Jesus; born of the Spirit.

Where am I going?   

According to the word of God, “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the children of God.”

So my destination is wherever the Spirit is.  The Spirit’s presence.

I came from the Spirit of God.

I go wherever the Spirit of God leads me.

This is my eternal identity!

Against this I measure all reality and every reality:

Does it come from the Spirit?

Does it lead to the Spirit, or is it led by the Spirit?

I refuse to listen to or acknowledge anything said to me or about me that contradicts my true identity.

My true origin and destination.

My real identity and destiny.

I thank God I know who I really am!
