What Is Identity in Christ?
Identity in Christ means who you TRULY are because of what Jesus did. It does not depend on what you feel. It is not about what you’ve been through. It is not about what others have spoken over you.
Identity = God’s truth about you
Self-image = how you see you
Identity attacks = how Satan wants you to see you

Why Identity Is the First Battleground
The enemy attacked Jesus’ identity first:

Why?
