IDENTITY Dr. Dennis Morgan

goal: think about your identity

who am I?

identity can be many things

what verification?

Google

who can verify our identity?

man is imperfect

human view of identity

only physical

slug

animal

monism

one substance to identity

only physical

only brain and body

human self-examination

human perspective

get outside our experience

What’s it like to be a bat?

by sonar not by sight

we can’t relate to this

outside our experience

using ourselves to understand ourselves is inadequate

outside perspective needed

ultimate identity verification

physical plus non-physical

“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43

“My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.” Phil. 1:23 “Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home with the Lord or away, we make it our aim to please him.” 2 Corinthians 5:8-9

soul: the person in a body

what identity do you prefer?

only physical or something more?

in, but more than, a body

holistic dualism

a person in a whole person

not just a physical mechanism

physical, yet someone more

an identity with greater value

see beyond the faces

love for the real person

“you are of more value than many sparrows?” Matthew 10:31

more than your problems

your person can change your personal problems

Holy Spirit strengthening the person

“that he [God the Father] may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being.” Ephesians 3:16

who am I?

more than what I do

identity in who I am

answer to the question

who am I?

you are more than physical

identity: person in a body

more

more about who you are

after this life

recognize this song by Queen

Queen asked this question

who wants to live forever?

Freddie Mercury - Queen

sadly, Freddie died from Aids

who wants to live forever?

pointless question….because

our person will never die

to die is not our choice

who am I?

identity: person who will never die

ask the right question

we will live forever…somewhere

the question is, where?

“where forever?” is a question of belonging

belonging, not just to a place

but to whom do I belong?

who do I, as a person…

belong to forever?

either to a loving LORD, or…

in the words of Bob Dylan…

to serve = belong to

who am I?

identity: person who belongs to someone

to someone outside this world…forever

identity can be many things…

but true identity is:

I am person in a body

I am a person who will never die

I am a person who belongs to someone

to someone outside this world

forever

my true identity is: I am person in a body I am a person who will never die I am a person who belongs to someone outside this world forever

Jesus said, “come, follow me”

“belong to me”…

forever
