What if this sheep said 'moo' and had green boots, is it still a sheep?
What if this sheep rolled in mud, will it become a pig?
What if this sheep grew spots instead of wool, does it mean it's not a sheep anymore?
What if this sheep loves eating fruits, is it?......still a sheep??
YES!
The sheep remains as a sheep! It's identity as a sheep remains unchanged. THAT is the TRUTH. It's identity is NOT dependent on what it says, wears, does, eats, etc... Its remains as a sheep no matter what the outward appearance proves it to be!
Who are YOU?? You are God's Righteousness! That is your identity. Do you ever think that sinning, falling short from your standards of perfection will change your identity? You are righteous because that's who you are, regardless of your outward appearance or circumstances. You are God's own Righteousness and you sit at His right hand far above ALL. Because Jesus has taken all your falling short, best of all, on His standards of perfection. How can you not be righteous? You are made perfect, spotless, and blameless before God no matter what.
What if you sinned? Your identity remains unchanged. God says you are blessed beyond your imagination! You are the champion in Christ. What if challenges come along the way, what if you stumbled? Your identity is unchanged, you are God's favorite! He favors you and He says you are His Beloved child, He is well pleased with you in Christ. What if you don’t feel right, you don't feel loved? Your true identity remains unchanged! You are His joy and glory.
YOUR IDENTITY IS IN CHRIST! All that He is, you are. All that He has, you have, all because of his love for you. So who are you? You are who He made you in Christ and He deserves all the praise!
