Introduction: Your Identity (Ephesians 1:1–14)

Ephesians 1:1–14. Who are you? Identity is a huge question, and it is a question we all ask at different points in our life, to varying degrees. We need to understand ourselves and our identity well to understand this world and everything that happens around us. To not know our identity is to be adrift in a sea of options and opinions, bobbing up and down and tossed to-and-fro, looking for a patch of land, an island of respite that will give us a firm footing to stand upon. Over the next several months we are going to be working through the book of Ephesians. We have titled our series “Who are you?” because we believe you will see throughout this book your very identity. Amazingly, your identity is wrapped up with Christ and his identity. To know yourself requires you to know God and to know Jesus Christ.
