Peter, what exactly is your identity in Jesus Christ? Are you righteous in him in a “legal” sense? Or is he more of example of morality for you? Do you think of him in terms of your existential identity, or is it more that you admire him from a distance? Is your relationship with Jesus and your identity in him truer than the relationship of card-carrying Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. to God? Does He live in you in a way that is different from those who don’t know or love him? This is not a question to judge. These are questions I also ask myself as I journey through the challenges you are presenting to my identity as a sinner who needs the righteousness of Christ, both legally and practically.
