Day 110 Who Are You | 2 Corinthians 5:16

Send us a text

Who are you, really? Not according to your job title, social media following, or even your own opinion of yourself—but according to the One who created you?

Day 110 of Wisdom for the Day takes us to 2 Corinthians 5:16, where we discover a revolutionary perspective on identity. We explore how being in Christ means becoming an entirely new creation—not just an improved version of our old selves, but someone fundamentally transformed. As Lauren shares, "The old life is gone. A new life has begun."

What would happen if we truly lived from this truth? When asked to sum up the gospel in seven words or less, someone brilliantly offered: "We are who God says we are." This simple phrase carries profound implications for how we view ourselves and others. No longer defined by Instagram likes, career achievements, personal struggles, or others' opinions, we can embrace our God-given identity as loved, forgiven, valued, and completely new.

This isn't just good news for us personally—it transforms how we interact with the world. As ambassadors of Christ, we carry this life-changing message everywhere: today can be day one of a brand new life through God's love. Who might need to hear this truth from you today? Join us as we learn to live confidently in our true identity and share this revolutionary message with others who desperately need to hear it.

Ready to embrace who God says you are? Listen now, and consider subscribing to Wisdom for the Day for daily spiritual refreshment that will transform how you see yourself and the world around you.
