Protection from Others’ Opinions
Understanding your worth in God’s eyes shields you from the approval of others and the fear of rejection. Your value is secure in Christ’s finished work.
Power for Purpose
Knowing who you are in Christ gives you confidence to step into your calling, serve boldly, and live authentically according to God’s design for your life.
Foundation for Relationships
A healthy understanding of your identity in Christ enables you to love others well, set appropriate boundaries, and build relationships from security rather than neediness.
