2. Identity in Christ
Deep down, many people have a low self-esteem, often through real or perceived experiences of rejection. So, we often do anything to try and feel good about ourselves and find 'acceptance'. We turn to alcohol, drugs, or sex. Others try to find wholeness in their car, or money, or sport, or fashion. But these things still leave us empty inside. The Bible says that the solution is to find our wholeness and identity in Jesus Christ - in Him we are totally accepted by God!
