The world often tries to define us by our mistakes, our achievements, or the opinions of others. But as followers of Jesus, our true identity is found in Him. We are not who the world says we are—we are who God says we are. When doubts and lies creep in, God’s Word reminds us of our worth, our calling, and our secure place in His love. Here are nine verses that speak life into your identity in Christ.
