Know who you are. Look into the word of truth. Look to see yourself as you really are. Then, you will know who you are. The word of truth is your Bible. God gives you understanding through His word of truth.
See yourself as someone who has sinned against God. You may not like to think of yourself as a sinner, but the word of truth is clear. All of us have sinned. To sin is to miss God's goal for your life. That goal is to bring glory to God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Don't stop now. Look into the word of truth again. See yourself as someone whom God loves. See yourself at the cross of Jesus. See that He died in your place and for your sins. That's how much God loves you. There is no way that you could be loved more. You can say, "I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
Now, look into the word of truth one more time. Understand that your life has purpose in Christ. You are a new creation in Christ. God has work for you to do. He has plans for you. "For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10). Know who you are in Christ.
