Sit in your Identity

Behavioral expert, James Clear, teaches about the powerful connection between identity and behavior. In his book Atomic Habits, Clear wrote, “Your behaviors are usually a reflection of your identity. What you do is an indication of the type of person you believe that you are, either consciously or subconsciously.” He continued, “Research has shown that once a person believes in a particular aspect of their identity, they are more likely to act in alignment with that belief.”

Those who struggle with sexual sins, like pornography addiction, start living out of a shame identity and struggle to internalize what the Bible says about them. It is critical to not just gain more facts about our identity in Christ but to sit in these truths and embrace them by faith.

Let’s continue our teaching from Ephesians about our identity in Christ.

Reflection Questions:

• How can you sit more fully in your identity in Christ?
• How do you think understanding the full dimensions of God’s love for you would enable you to “be filled with all the fullness of God”(Ephesians 3:18-19)?
