Identity – Living out who we are in Christ through our work

Devotional week 2

As we continue to reflect on the purpose of work within God’s plan, it is essential to remember that our identity in Christ is the foundation for all we do—including our work. Far too often, the world defines people by their job titles, achievements, or the size of their salaries, creating a subtle trap. As a child, I often heard the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Consciously or unconsciously, this leads us to place work on a pedestal it was never meant to occupy. This does not mean that work is unimportant—it is, after all, a significant part of our lives. However, as Christians, our identity is not anchored in titles or accomplishments but in Christ.
