Identity Series: What is the REAL ME? (touching on identity as saints & not finding our identity as sinners)
Reflection and Application
Husk last Sunday heard from Caroline on 'What is the real me?':
Peter calls believers a "chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession."
What does each of these descriptions reveal about your identity in Christ?
How does this contrast with how you might naturally see yourself?
The word holy (hagios) means "set apart."
In what ways has God set you apart from the world?
How can this understanding reshape the way you live and make decisions daily?
Peter says we are set apart "so that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
What does this verse teach about the purpose of our identity as saints?
How does praise and witness flow from a holy identity?
Peter's language is collective — "a people belonging to God."
How does our shared identity as saints shape how we view the church community?
What would a community that truly lived as "a holy nation" look like in Tower Hamlets?
