My SAA Brothers!
Last night Barry shared his devotion and spiritual pursuit... here is what that inspired in my Daily Brief.
My response was referenced in my passio. That Identity drives beliefs, emotion and action.
Below is a clear, structured map of biblical identity, with key passages you can return to as anchors.
1. Identity Begins with the Image of God (Imago Dei)
Genesis 1:26–27
“Then God said, Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…
So God created mankind in his own image…”
What this establishes:
Your identity is given, not earned
You carry intrinsic value, authority, and purpose
Identity comes before performance, work, or failure
Key truth:
👉 You don’t find identity—you receive it.
2. Known and Formed Before Action or Achievement
Psalm 139:13–16
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb…”
Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…”
Identity principle:
God defines you before the world labels you
Calling precedes credibility
Purpose exists even when direction feels unclear
3. Identity as Children and Sons (Not Servants)
Romans 8:15–17
“The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship…
And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’”
Galatians 4:6–7
“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.”
This is critical:
Christianity is not behavior modification
It is identity transformation
You don’t work for approval—you work from belonging
4. Identity Restored and Re-defined in Christ
2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!”
Colossians 3:3
“For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”
Meaning:
Past identity does not have authority over present calling
Your truest self is hidden in Christ, not public opinion
Growth flows from who you are, not who you were
5. Chosen, Set Apart, and Purpose-Built
1 Peter 2:9
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…”
Ephesians 2:10
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works…”
Identity meets assignment here:
You are chosen on purpose
Set apart doesn’t mean isolated—it means aligned
Works are the overflow, not the foundation
6. Identity Is Renewed Through the Mind
Romans 12:2
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
This connects directly to leadership and legacy:
Identity is reinforced or eroded by thought patterns
Spiritual maturity = alignment between truth and belief
This is where faith becomes “divine automation,” as you’ve described
7. Jesus Models Identity Before Mission
Matthew 3:16–17 (Jesus’ baptism)
“This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
📌 This was spoken before:
Miracles
Ministry
The cross
Lesson:
God affirmed identity before impact.
A Simple Identity Summary (Biblical)
Created in God’s image
Known before birth
Adopted as sons and daughters
Redeemed and made new
Chosen with purpose
Transformed by truth
Every bit of this resonates with me and provides a RoadMap that can be shared within our precious company. Amen!
Please share your feedback and lets find ways to impact others
❤️❤️❤️ Love for My Brothers!
