Unpacking Your Transformed Identity

1 Peter 1:1-12

How you describe your identity is very strongly correlated to your sense of resilience and your ability to weather the ups and downs of life. People who think of their identity in negative terms, tend to feel defeated when hard times come their way. Conversely, people who describe their identity in positive terms, respond with courage and hope when hardship comes. In the first section of his book, Peter describes the transformed identity we received when we came to Christ. By fully embracing this, we can be resilient in any hardship.
