The Truth

In a world where societal roles and personal achievements often define our sense of self, it is essential for Christian women to anchor their true identity in Christ. Many find their worth in their careers, relationships, or roles as mothers, yet these aspects, while significant, should not overshadow the divine identity bestowed upon us by God. As Ezer women, created to be strong allies and partners, we must first and foremost recognize and embrace the identity God has determined for us. By grounding ourselves in Christ, we align with His purpose and find a deeper, unwavering sense of worth and belonging.

What the Word Recorded About You

When God made Adam a “suitable helpmate,” He used the term ezer. The Hebrew word ezer translates to “help” or “helper” but conveys much more than mere assistance. It signifies strength and support, often associated with military aid and divine intervention. For example, ezer is used to describe God as a helper to Israel, highlighting a role imbued with power and protection. Thus, an Ezer Woman embodies the essence of strong support, reflecting God’s intention for partnership and resilience. This profound identity calls Christian women to rise as empowered allies in their families, communities, and in world missions, grounded in the strength and purpose given by God.

From the beginning of time, the woman God created would be identified as person of strength and character, wielding the spirit of a warrior.

Straight From the Pages of Truth

Continuing through Scripture, we discover that God has much to say about the humans He created, their purposes, and His connection to them. Because you are a created creature made to image God, your identity is in who your Maker says you are.

The following Scriptures prove that not only is your identity glorious, but it’s probably much greater than you ever imagined. Check this out:

In the Word, you are told that you were formed by God (Isaiah 43:7), being fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), as a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17), created for His glory (Isaiah 43:7), made in His Image (Genesis 1:27), for Him (Colossians 1:15), and His purposes (Proverbs 16:4).

You were created for good works (Ephesians 2:10) as a vessel of honor (2 Timothy 2:21), made in the likeness of God (Ephesians 4:24).

You are loved by God (1 Thessalonians 1:4), as the apple of His eye (Deuteronomy 32:10); and the one He delights in and sings over (Zephania 3:17). Because of Him, you are crowned with glory and majesty (Psalm 8:5).

You are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37) for you walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7) because blessed is the one who makes the Lord his trust (Psalm 40:4) and therefore, He is with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).

You have been anointed and sealed with the Spirit as a pledge (2 Corinthians 1:21-22) so walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16), because Christ died for you (Romans 5:8).

Go ahead, read those life-changing, all-inspiring words out loud or perhaps memorize the bolded parts (Scripture). These truths will come in real handy when the enemy throws degrading lies at you through all kinds of situations.

In these perilous times, rooting our identity in the love of God is not just a matter of spiritual practice, but a source of unwavering strength and hope. When we recognize who we are in Christ, we are fortified against the trials and tribulations that come our way.

By anchoring our lives in the truths of Scripture and the assurance of His eternal presence, we can face any adversity with courage and resilience—bravery!

It is imperative that His Word be the light that guides us, the shield that protects us, and the truth that inspires us. In His love, we find the true essence of who we are and the power to endure all things in our temporary state.

And then, He returns and we will be walking in perfection.

If I perish, I perish,
