Identity Reset

Identity Reset: From Fake to Faith in who you really are.  (Be a Faither not just a Believer.)

To discover the Son of God within you is to rediscover God’s original design for your life. His image designed to be vibrant and whole has been marred by sin. The very word for sin, hamartia, means “to miss the mark” literally means to be out of sync with one’s true form. When we live disconnected from who God made us to be, we begin to wear a distorted version of ourselves.  We have missed the mark.

So we ask: Where is the you that God intended? Where is the authentic, God-designed, God-engineered you? Scripture teaches that our “old self” is a counterfeit.  It is an impersonator trying to play a role we were never meant to perform.

Shakespeare once wrote, “All the world’s a stage, and all men and women merely players.” But we cannot act ourselves into a new identity and expect it to last. Actors may take on a powerful role under the spotlight, yet the moment the play ends, they must return to who they truly are.  We cannot live our lives as impersonators on the stage of this world.

We all long to recover our true authentic nature, the very image of God that is restored in Christ.  Jesus didn’t come to improve the impostor version of us; He came to restore the real us.

Like the prodigal son, we wander far from the Father until grace awakens us.

“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger? I will arise and go to my father…’” (Luke 15:17–18)

The prodigal son came to himself, to his real identity and made his way home. In the Father’s house, he rediscovered who he had always been—a  beloved son. The acting was over. The masks came off. His identity was restored. Everything he needed or wanted  was in his father’s house.

Every return to the Father brings restoration. Every step toward Jesus recovers the image of God within us

Come home to the One who knows the real you. Your authentic identity is waiting in His embrace.

Go beyond simply believing while putting on an act; become a “faither”.  Someone whose embraces their true identity in God.
