Status: the way other people see you.
- Earned, acquired or conferred by others
- Ex: Pastor, teacher, doctor
Identity: The way you see yourself
- Defined by behavior, not external markers
Status: Who does God say that you are?
- Bearer of God’s image (Gen. 1.26-28)
- Child of God (1 Jn. 1.3)
- Holy (1 Peter 2.9)
