The Book

Will God or the World Define You? Understanding Christian Identity in God’s Story is meant to both challenge your understanding of what it means to be a Christian and to encourage you to live a life in accordance with God’s story and design. The core of the book are over 700 Bible verses that reveal what God says we should see as true of ourselves. The Bible deals with many topics that are often comingled together, or spread out in its different books, sometimes making it complicated to fully understand a specific topic. Concentrating these identity-related passages in one place allows us to better focus on God’s revelations concerning our common Christian identity.

You have likely heard many of the descriptive terms in the book before, but have you thought through their implications and looked at them from multiple angles for their meaning and impact on your life? This book paints a biblically-based view intended to inspire you to be confident in your beliefs; to flourish in life by affirming and consistently reaffirming who God intends you to be—your identity; and, to live with a courageous spirit, regardless of what comes your way.

Part I of the two parts of this book serves as a reference guide and summary of what the Bible, God’s Word, describes about a Christian’s core identity. Part II then provides a brief overview of some of the more serious issues currently facing Christians, and how those issues may impact each of our commitments to our faith and identity, now and in the future.
