Your PERSONAL Identity in Christ
(12 pages. Large print, approximately a 15-minute read)
Introduction
This article, which deals with the subject of “personal identity”, is an excerpt from the book “Wrestling for the Blessing”, which endeavors to show that Scripture reveals God’s desire to offer each individual in Christ a unique expression of their personal identity. This was clearly initiated in the Garden, lost through the Fall, restored collectively to the people of God in the Old Covenant, but restored on an individual basis for each person in Christ. Further, the personal application of this redemption – that is, the “working out your own salvation in fear and trembling”, is contingent upon the individual “personalizing” the promised blessing.
