Identity is a complicated matter.  Identity theft is brutal.  It’s bad enough when people use your vital information to steal your stuff but when the enemy steals who you really are through deceit, it’s virtually intolerable.  When we allow our identity to get wrapped up in what we do for a hobby or a vocation, we set ourselves up for bitter disappointment down the road.  There will come a day when our jobs will be over and our hobbies will be too hard to do (unless your hobby is watching T.V.).  Along the way we hear things from people that cut to the heart.  We may even start to think that we are who others say we are and then start living down to those expectations.  Friends, if we don’t remember that we are who God says we are—nothing more and nothing less, we’ll be in for a life of hardship.  We’re going to look at a lengthy passage in Galatians on Sunday that concludes with a reminder of who are in Christ.  I trust our worship of the Living God and His truth this week will be the fuel your inner life needs to rejoice in the wondrous provision of God through Christ and His Spirit.
