Your identity is grounded in the present, but its fullness is revealed in the future. John writes, “Beloved, now we are children of God,” but also, “when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” Identity begins now, but destiny is unveiled then — at the moment you behold the Bridegroom in glory.

You become like whatever you behold. Identity is not shaped by striving but by seeing — by gazing upon the glory of Yeshua (Jesus). Paul writes that as we behold “the glory of the Lord,” we are “being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.” Identity begins with revelation, but it matures through beholding.

One of the most breathtaking truths of your identity in Yeshua (Jesus) is this: you are not merely forgiven — you are an heir. Not a servant in the house, not a distant relative, and not an outsider tolerated at the table, but a co-heir who shares the inheritance, authority, and destiny of the Son Himself. Paul declares, “If children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Messiah” (Romans 8:17), a truth that reshapes everything about who you are.

From the dawn of creation, God’s desire has always been the same — to dwell with His people. In Eden, He walked with Adam in the cool of the day.

The Word declares that God “raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). This is not a future promise — it is a present reality. Heaven sees you not as struggling to reach victory, but as already seated in victory, reigning with Christ in the eternal now.

From the very beginning, humanity has been trying to cover its own shame. In the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve sinned, their first instinct was to hide and to sew fig leaves together — a desperate attempt to conceal the awareness of their nakedness. Sin exposed what was lost, and shame became humanity’s garment. But even in that moment of failure, God revealed His mercy. He clothed them Himself, covering their shame with the skin of a sacrifice — a prophetic foreshadowing of the redemption to come, when the blood of the Lamb would one day cover the nakedness of mankind.

In the kingdom of God, identity is not achieved — it is received. You cannot earn it, perform for it, or inherit it through bloodline or status. It is a gift born from above. Every effort of man to define himself apart from God ends in frustration, but the new birth offers something that no human striving ever could: the life of God implanted within.
