Finding Identity or Identity is given by
God?
---Are we discovering our Identity or is
Identity given to us by God? ---We all are starting life by God
giving it to us. ---Then add-ons come to us by society,
our parents, ourselves and when we make a decision to follow God, strongly by
God who then reboot, remake, recreate, reverse actions, hold back or cancel
evil desires, formatting us into the Example of Jesus by His Holy Spirit. ---So it seems as if identity is not to
be discovered, unless you are not a believer, but is given to you by God, if
you are. ---Are what? A believer. If you are a
believer you are told how to live, how to act, how to think, what to look at,
what to avoid, what not to look at, what to eat, what not to eat, where to go,
where not to go, what to drink and what not to drink, it is all related to the
way of life we are living, called lifestyle. ---Change your lifestyle and your
thinking change. ---Change your thinking and God build
your Identity to conform with the Identity already existing: the Revelation of
God and Truth in the Bible, the unfolding of that truth in Adventism, the
Fundamental Beliefs packed in the Church unfolded to you. ---Identity is thus provided from the
Bible, from Ellen White thoughts on God and the Bible, from explanations of
professors who delved deep into the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek of the biblical
text and bring out surprising aspects you did not know before. ---The compact set is your Identity as
believer not as unbeliever. ---Unbelievers are told by unbelieving
Psychologists that you must act out your anger and not hold it back. ---Not so says the Bible, to believers.
Do not act out your anger at all. Forgive your enemies.
