Be Who You Are

God has graciously given us a new identity, and sanctification is the process of becoming what God has already declared us to be. God commands us to live out our calling, to live in response to the great identity He has given (Eph. 4:1; Phil. 3:16). As believers understand their identity, they are empowered by God to flesh out their identity in everyday life.
