Living Out Your Identity

This is it! Our final week of the Identity in Christ Bible study.

Are you wondering what comes next?

After we finish our Identity in Christ study, I’ll be shifting focus toward something deeper and more lasting. Instead of continuing to create new Bible studies, I’ll be guiding women to build lifelong Bible literacy and spiritual confidence through a new learning pathway.

This new direction is about helping you study the Bible for yourself, understand its context, and grow in faith that stays rooted no matter the season. It’s not about “finishing the next study”—it’s about becoming the kind of woman who knows how to open the Word and hear from God directly.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to study or struggled to stay consistent, what’s coming next is designed for you. More info soon. Stay tuned!

Now, let’s get back to this week’s study and finish strong!

Called to Live It Out

Knowing your identity in Christ is powerful. But learning to live it out? That’s where transformation happens. It’s one thing to know you are loved, chosen, and enough—but quite another to walk that truth out in your daily life.

Many women understand in theory what the Bible says about their identity, yet still wrestle with insecurity, fear, and people-pleasing. Why? Because the pressures of life, the opinions of others, and the pain of past wounds can all make it hard to live with confidence. We may nod in agreement with God’s truth on Sunday, but by Tuesday we’re second-guessing ourselves again.

This week, we’ll explore what it looks like to step into your God-given identity with courage—not perfectly, but faithfully. You were made to reflect Christ’s light, to represent His love, and to live out your purpose with joy and confidence.

Join me for week 4's video as we discuss this weeks study and take a deeper  look at Living Out Your Identity >> COMING SOON.

Knowing the Truth But Not Walking in It

It’s easy to gather head knowledge and still feel stuck in old patterns. Maybe you know the verses. You’ve memorized the truth. But still, you find yourself shrinking back in fear or measuring your worth by someone else’s highlight reel.

Living out your identity means aligning your actions and attitudes with what God says about you—not what culture, your past, or your inner critic whispers. But that kind of alignment takes intention. It takes practice. And most importantly, it takes surrender.

So let me ask you—are you living like you believe you're chosen? Are you walking like someone dearly loved by God, or are you still hustling for approval? What would change in your life if you really lived like everything God says about you is true?

Letting God Define Who You Are

Colossians 3:12 reminds us:

This verse speaks to both your identity and your calling. You are chosen. You are dearly loved. And because of that, you can “clothe” yourself in Christ-like character. Just like we choose what we wear each morning, we are invited to choose to walk in the attributes that reflect who we belong to.

Matthew 5:13-14 says:

Jesus doesn’t say “you might be” or “you should try to be”—He says you are. That means your life is meant to flavor the world with grace and shine with His truth. But you can’t do that if you’re constantly doubting your worth or hiding your light.

So ask yourself: Am I dimming my light out of fear? What’s one way I can walk in the truth of who God says I am today?

Walk in Your God-Given Identity

Living out your identity is about daily decisions to trust what God says more than what you feel. It’s about showing up fully in the spaces God has called you to—whether that’s in your home, workplace, church, or community.

When you believe you’re chosen, you stop chasing validation.
When you remember you’re loved, you show up with boldness.
When you walk as someone called by God, you carry hope wherever you go.

It doesn’t mean life is perfect or free from insecurity. But it does mean you keep coming back to God’s truth and letting it shape your steps.

Practical Steps to Walk Out Your Identity

1. Write a Personal Identity Statement - Based on Scripture, write 2-3 sentences that affirm who you are in Christ (e.g., “I am chosen, loved, and called for a purpose”). Read it out loud each morning.
2. Act on One Truth Today - Pick one truth about your identity—like “I am a light in the world”—and ask, How can I live this out today? Then do it, even if it feels small.
3. Speak Life to Others - Encourage someone else with a truth about their identity in Christ. Sometimes we grow stronger in our faith when we build up others.
4. Catch the Lies and Replace Them - When negative self-talk creeps in, pause. Ask: Is this what God says about me? If not, replace it with truth from Scripture.
5. Pray with Boldness - Ask God to help you live with clarity and courage. Invite the Holy Spirit to guide your steps and to show you the difference your identity makes.

You Were Made to Shine

Living out your identity isn’t about being loud or flashy—it’s about being faithful. It’s knowing who you are in Christ and letting that truth anchor your decisions, your relationships, and your mindset.

You were created to shine, to love well, and to walk in confidence—not because of who you are in yourself, but because of who you are in Him. You don’t have to hustle, prove, or pretend. Just be who God made you to be.

When you live in your identity, you reflect His glory. And that changes everything.

Lord, thank You for the identity You’ve given me in Christ. Help me not just to believe it in my mind, but to live it with my whole heart. Give me the courage to walk in the truth of who I am in You. When I feel small, remind me I am chosen. When I feel unseen, remind me I am dearly loved. Let my life shine with Your truth so others can see You in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection Questions

1. What truth about your identity in Christ do you most struggle to live out?
2. How can Matthew 5:14 change the way you see your purpose this week?
3. Are there places in your life where you’ve been hiding your light? Why?
4. What would it look like to “clothe yourself” in compassion, humility, or gentleness today?
5. Who in your life needs to be reminded of their identity in Christ?
