Being a teenager can feel like standing in the middle of a thousand voices, each one trying to tell you who you should be. Some voices tell you that your worth comes from how many likes you get, the clothes you wear, or the friends you have. Others might make you feel like you’re not enough, no matter how hard you try. But Galatians 2:20 reminds us of something different: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” This means your true identity isn’t found in what the world says about you—it’s found in Christ. Have you ever thought about what it truly means to let Christ live through you each day?
Walking daily in your identity means making intentional choices that align with who God says you are. It’s easy to feel close to God on Sunday but then struggle during the week when life gets tough. That’s why strengthening your relationship with Christ requires daily habits—prayer, reading the Bible, and worship. Think about it: When was the last time you spent time with God just to know Him better, not just when you needed something? If you only talked to your best friend once a week, would that friendship feel strong? In the same way, your relationship with Jesus grows when you spend time with Him consistently.
But let’s be honest—some days, you won’t feel like praying. Some days, reading the Bible might feel boring or confusing. That’s okay. God isn’t looking for perfection; He’s looking for your heart. Even when you don’t feel like it, choose to show up. Worship when you’re happy and when you’re struggling. Read the Bible even if it’s just one verse. Pray even if all you can say is, “God, I need You today.” The more you commit to these small daily habits, the stronger your identity in Christ becomes. What’s one habit you can start today that will help you stay connected to Him?
Your identity in Christ isn’t just something you believe—it’s something you live out every day. As you go through school, friendships, and challenges, remind yourself that you are deeply loved, fully accepted, and created for a purpose. When you face doubts or insecurities, hold on to this truth: You are not alone. Christ lives in you, and that changes everything. So, will you take the challenge to walk daily in your identity, not just when it’s easy, but every day? Start small, stay committed, and watch how your relationship with God transforms your life.
