My Identity

"Understanding your identity in Christ is absolutely essential for your success at living a victorious Christian life!"  Dr. Neil T. Anderson, Who I Am in Christ (Gospel Light, 1993)

Satan's Lie	God's Truth
You are a sinner because you sin. Your identity comes from what you have done. Your identity comes from what people say about you. Your behavior tells you what to believe about yourself.	You are a saint (one declared righteous by God) who sins. Your identity comes from what God has done for you. Your identity comes from what God says about you. Your belief about yourself determines your behavior.
