August 24, 2019 Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional : Topic - Your Lasting Identity Comes from God’s Family

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

August 24, 2019 Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional : Topic - Your Lasting Identity Comes from God’s Family

“You are members of God’s very own family . . . and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian” (Ephesians 2:19 TLB).
Much of our identity is based upon our relationships.
I’m a grandson. I’m a son. I’m a husband. I’m a grandfather. I’m a team member. I’m a small group member. I’m a pastor. I’m an employer. I’m all of those things. Those relationships help to define who I am.

We know who we are in relationship to other people. People who have gone through a divorce or the death of a spouse know this. When that relationship ends, many people have trouble coming to grips with who they are. Or if they’ve been laid off from a job that’s been tied to their identity, it can be really tough to get clarity with their identity.
That’s why God wants us to gain our identity from a relationship that’ll never end: our relationship with his family.
The Bible says, “You are members of God’s very own family . . . and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian” (Ephesians 2:19 TLB).
It doesn’t matter what family you’ve had in the past. Your identity doesn’t come from it. Your identity comes from your relationship with God’s family.
In fact, your physical family was just a channel to get you into God’s family. God used your parents—whether they were good parents or bad parents—to bring you into the world. But his real goal wasn’t to keep you in that family; it was to put you in his family.
Your spiritual family is actually more important than your physical family. Physical families don’t last forever. People grow up. They move away. They get divorced. They die.
Your spiritual family will last forever.
When that’s what your identity is built upon, it’ll last.
Talk It Over

  • Can you think of a time in your life when the loss of a relationship impacted your sense of identity? What was that like?
  • In what ways are you investing your life in things that really matter, things that will last forever?
  • How have you better understood your identity through your relationship with God’s family?

Give hope, prayer, and encouragement below. Post a comment & talk about it.
