God is unchanging, He is reliable, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you find your identity in Him, you will never ultimately be let down because He has proven time and time again to be trustworthy. The question remains like this; what is my identity in God as a believer, as a follower of Christ, as a son or daughter of God, or as a chosen generation? To be able to understand your identity as a follower of Christ, you need to understand how He sees you. It’s easy to build your identity on what you accomplish, but this is not a stable foundation.
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. Hebrews 11:24-26, NIV. By implication, Moses came of age only to realize that his identity had been mistaken for what it ought to be. Quickly, he made the decision to forego all the luxuries and other earthly pleasures in Egypt in order to share in the suffering, torture, and pain of the Israelites.
How does it feel to trade the comforts and excitements of life for slavery and suffering? Very difficult decision to make right? Yet Moses made the decision to choose eternal glory over temporal inheritance on earth. One thing is certain, which is; decisions we make as people of God are influenced by our identity in Christ. This is why your identity as a chosen generation cannot be compromised. As you find your identity in Christ, you will grow to look more like Him and less like the world. You will grow in intimacy with Him and with other believers as well. Receive grace to be identified in God.
