True Identity
Zechariah 8: 22-23

4  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come
and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.”
Revelation 15:4

As much as modern cultures have tried to assimilate citizens, “identity” is still an issue: race, religion, gender, economics,personality, vocation, education. Humanity has compartmentalized itself now more than ever.

That is not true with God. From the beginning, God’s plan has been sweeping: to bless “all the families of the earth” (Genesis 12:3) without regard to the identity categories we force people into today. God called Abraham, through his descendants, to be a light to the world. If we are in Christ, then we are “Abraham’s seed” and heirs of God’s promises to Abraham without distinction (Galatians 3:28-29). This is what John saw in his vision of heaven—all nations coming before God to worship Him. This had been God’s plan from the beginning: to reveal His holiness to all of humanity and offer them an eternity in His presence (Psalm86:9; Isaiah 45:22-23; Malachi 1:11; Philippians 2:9-11).

Regardless of who you are on earth, the worship of our holy God is your purpose in Christ.Your true identity is found in Him, now and forever.

A point to ponder…

A holy God calls His people to holy living.
