Your True Identity; Who You are Meant to Be.

God is the author of Faith, so faith reflects God. God is faithful, Faith is faithful. God is goodness and produces goodness. Faith is goodness and produces goodness. God is Truth. Faith is Truth. All that Faith is; it reflects the nature of God. The ultimate goal of Faith is perfection. God, who is perfection, divinely inspires perfection in man. The closest man gets to perfection, we see in holy people. Holiness in man is the reflection of the extent of God’s character and God’s life in man. Jesus Christ was perfection made flesh. We were all created to be perfect, to be like the perfection in Christ. God became man in Christ to show us what perfection in man looks like. That is the original design of man, to be perfect. If you want to know who you are meant to be; look at Christ. This is what the ultimate you looks like. A car is designed to be driven. A powerful sports car is meant to be driven fast. You were designed for a purpose. God is not leaving you in the dark as to that purpose. You are meant to be like Christ. So what is Christ like? Christ is “The way, The light and The Truth”. He is the supreme reflection of real love and beauty. Man through history asked and prayed to God to answer who am I? God’s answer was Christ. Christ revealed the true identity of man to man. Man is now in no doubt as to his design and purpose.  Man can no longer use the excuse that he didn’t know or understand. God previously spoke to man, but through Jesus Christ he showed man what he was made for and what the character of God looks like. He showed what your character should look like. And what is the perfection of your character. It is exactly the perfection of Christ’s Character. Christ showed man perfection in love. Love that lay down his life for man and rise it up again for man. Love that bore every transgression of man, every sin, took the blame and paid the price on man’s head.  Christ had no sin yet took the blame and punishment for man’s history of transgression. Why would the holiest and most innocent human being ever to have lived take the blame and punishment of us all? Because he was God. The God of love. He showed us that he loved us beyond all measure. His love showed us that he was willing to go to whatever extent whatever price to bring us to heaven and eternal happiness. That is perfection. Without blemish, total truth, total purity, no bounds to love, no price too high. That is out true identity, our true character.
