Spiritual Identity

In "Embracing Hope and Purpose in the End Times," the author provides a compelling exploration of Christian identity and its significance in the context of the end times. The book delves into the concept of eschatology, or the study of the end times, and offers insights on how Christians can find hope and purpose amidst uncertainty.

Many new believers come to the feet of Christ broken and shattered. They join a church or a group and rejoice in their new relationship with Jesus. Over time, as they learn about God, the distance becomes further and further away from the Lord. This causes confusion and eventually alienation. This is due to the fact that denominations and churches across the world do an amazing job of teaching us who God is, but never bother to teach the believer who they truly are in Christ. This book will set you free as we put into perspective our true identity in Christ.

In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve hid their nakedness and shame behind a fig leaf - what are you hiding behind? Many people have asked Jesus into their hearts, but live out the rest of their lives hidden and ashamed, not knowing that they can stand authentic, free, and joyful before others and a God who loves them and wants to show them who they truly are!

Do you think of your identity as how your family raised you? When people ask who you are, do you say I’m a mom or dad, or do you talk about your job? Do you define yourself by your successes or failures? Confidently knowing your identity offers freedom from painful pasts, broken relationships, and empty idols. Yet, so many of us struggle to get to this place. Nancy Fujii knows this firsthand.

Identity: Everyone was designed for purpose. In fact, one of the most repeated cries of the heart is, “Why am I here?” Although many try to answer that question with their own ideas of purpose, the only One who holds the first and final word is the father. While many search in various places to find meaning in life, it is certain that the only safe place is in the voice of the father. The answer isn’t more money, more fame, or even the right political party. The answer is a life centered in the person of Christ.

What does it really mean to "be holy"? These two little words seem to echo throughout scripture. First Peter quotes Leviticus with God's command: "You shall be holy, for I am holy." Again in Ephesians when we learn that God "chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy." And in the last chapter of the last book of the Bible we learn that we are to "still be holy". Our calling to be holy is a challenging one, but living the "normal" alternative often leads to frustration, disappointment, and empty overindulgence.
