Who Do You See in the Mirror?
Finding Your True Identity in Christ
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see beauty, strength, and purpose? Or do you struggle with insecurities, shaped by past hurts and voices that told you that you weren’t enough?
The truth is, your identity is not determined by the world, your past, or even your own doubts. Your identity is found in Christ. And when you understand who you are in Him, it changes everything.
Three Pillars of Identity
To truly grasp our identity, we must understand three essential truths:
Acceptance – You are fully accepted in Christ.
Security – Your foundation is firm in Jesus.
Significance – You are called to make a difference.
Let’s look at each one.
1. Acceptance: You Are Loved and Chosen
Many of us struggle with feeling accepted. Past experiences—whether in school, work, or relationships—can leave deep wounds. But God’s Word tells us a different story:
John 1:12 – You are a child of God.
Ephesians 1:5 – You have been adopted into His family.
1 Peter 2:9 – You are chosen.
Because of Jesus, you are fully accepted and forgiven. No longer do you need to seek approval from people—you already have the love and acceptance of the Creator of the universe.
Can you confidently say, “I am accepted by Jesus”?
2. Security: Where Is Your Foundation?
Where do you place your security? Is it in your job, your relationships, or your achievements? True security can only be found in Jesus.
Romans 8:28 – God works all things for good.
Romans 8:35, 39 – Nothing can separate you from His love.
Psalm 139 – God knows you intimately and has always had a plan for you.
Philippians 3:20 – You are a citizen of heaven.
Tough times will come. Struggles will test you. But when your security is in Jesus, you will stand firm. He is your solid rock, your cornerstone.
Are you standing on that solid foundation?
3. Significance: You Were Created for a Purpose
You are more significant than you realise. You have the power to change the atmosphere around you just by carrying the presence of Jesus.
Matthew 5:13-14 – You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
John 15:5 – You are chosen and appointed to bear fruit.
Ephesians 2:10 – You are God’s masterpiece, created with a purpose.
Everywhere you go, you bring the presence of Jesus with you. You are significant in your family, workplace, and community. Your life has purpose, and God has incredible plans for you.
Who Do You See?
So, when you look in the mirror, who do you see? Do you see someone who is accepted, secure, and significant?
If not, today is the day to embrace your true identity in Christ. You are made in His image. You are loved beyond measure. And you are called to walk in confidence, knowing exactly who you are in Him.
Let’s live in the fullness of our identity in Christ!
