Who did God make you to be?
Knowing your identity in Christ is more than knowing you are a Christian. It is also about discovering the unique way God designed you, what makes you come alive, and the good works He prepared for you to walk in.
In this episode, Josh and Corina talk about personal identity in Christ and how understanding who God made you to be can lead to greater purpose, fulfillment, and clarity. Josh shares his story of spending 19 years as an engineer in a stable and successful career that looked great from the outside but never felt fully fulfilling. It was not until he began working more directly with people, encouraging them, helping them grow, and connecting them with God that he started to recognize what truly made him come alive.
Josh and Corina explain the difference between our shared family identity as believers and our personal identity in Christ. As followers of Jesus, we are children of God, loved, accepted, chosen, royal, holy, and called to partner with Him. But God also made each of us uniquely, with specific passions, dreams, gifts, and assignments.
Using Ephesians 2:10, they unpack what it means to be God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared in advance. You are not an accident. God did not mess up when He made you. He formed you with intention, put something beautiful inside of you, and created you on purpose for a purpose.
