Identity in Christ
I recently had a challenge to my identity. As you may have gathered from my first post
on theoscape, I live on Campobello
Island so cross border travel between Canada and the United States is inevitable. The other day as we were making our way to
Saint John for a dental appointment my name came up in red on the screen at
Canada Customs in Milltown, NB. I need
to go inside and speak with the agent to confirm that everything was alright
before I could go any further. After a
few clicks on the computer, I was told everything was fine and I was free to go. When I asked what had happened it turned out
that someone else with a similar name and similar birthdate was in their system
so my details put up a red flag.
I am glad that our heavenly Father knows us down to the core
of our being and that He is never confused.
Psalm 139 makes it clear that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and
that the Lord knows everything about us.
He even has all of our names written in His book. I am also glad that my identity is secure in
Jesus Christ and that Romans 8:17 assures me that I am a “joint heir with
Jesus.” I am His and my identity is
secure with Him. No mix ups!
