YOUR SPIRITUAL IDENTITY
VOL. 14 NO 41
11TH OCTOBER, 2026
In a simple term, spiritual identity is who a person is in relation to God, his faith and divine purpose. The scripture paints some vivid pictures of who Christians are, and should be. The identity of a believer is found in being a child of God, a new creation, God’s workmanship, and a chosen people. Furthermore, believers are identified as the righteousness of Christ, citizens of heaven, and people who are more than conqueror. However, I will be charging you in the light of fruit-bearing.
Fruit is very essential to every fruit-producing tree, and it is also quite symbolic. Little wonder, Jesus Christ became angry, and cursed the tree which did not produce fruit in its fruiting season. Spiritually, fruit connotes evidence; it is a proof that a tree is fulfilling the purpose for which it was created. Jesus Christ said “… A tree is known by its fruit. Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit” (Matt. 12:32-33). The third personality of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is the source producing fruit of the Spirit in the lives of believers. Friend, do you really have an identity in Christ and the Holy Spirit? It is obviously impossible to produce or give what you don’t have. In Galatians 5:22-23, Apostle Paul listed the fruit of the Spirit as: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Every fruit in the list above is an evidence of your identity in Christ.
