We were talking on Sunday going through The
Truth Project Lesson 4 about our
ability to know ourselves only through the process of knowing God.
In secular psychology, identity is defined “as an enduring and
continuous sense of who we are.”
As Christians, however, we define
ourselves in light of the revealed nature of God. Out identity is not who
we think we are, but who
God thinks we are.
Some resources from the bibliography that may help clarify your
thinking on this issue:
