Without an understanding of how God created us, it can be easy to place our identity in fleeting things that give us a false sense of security. Men and women were created in the image of God, but when sin entered the world, it caused death, pain, and conflict. Through the work that Jesus did on the cross, death surrenders to life, pain turns into purpose, and conflict becomes a calling. When our identity is based on following Jesus, we find a sense of purpose and fulfillment that no amount of self-discovery can ever give us.
