Breaking Free from Society’s Labels
Have you ever felt like you’re just a product on an assembly line, labeled and categorized by the world around you? Stupid, unproductive, slow learner, fast talker, quitter – the list goes on. But what if you could shatter those labels and discover your true identity?
The Power of Grace
As grace enters the picture, criticism crumbles. You begin to realize that you’re not defined by what others think of you. You’re not who they say you are; you’re who God says you are – spiritually alive, heavenly positioned, and one with Jesus Christ.
Beyond Human Approval
Of course, not all labels are negative. Some people might view you as clever, successful, or talented. But let’s be honest, those labels pale in comparison to being seated with God in the heavenly realms! It’s God who creates your true resume, and it’s His definition of you that matters.
Your True Identity
The parent who can’t please you, the doting uncle who can’t disappoint you – they’re both mistaken about who you truly are. God wrote your story, cast you in His drama, and hung you as a work of art in His gallery of grace. According to Him, you are His. Period.
A New Perspective
As Ephesians 2:6 reminds us, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” This is your true identity – not the labels society has slapped on you. You are a new creation, raised up and seated with Christ in the heavenly realms. Embrace this truth and let it set you free from the constraints of human opinion.
