When we remember our identity in Christ, it changes the way we see these relationships because we no longer base our worth on the approval of others but the approval we have already received from our Father through the work of His son.

About This Quote

When we remember our identity in Christ, it changes the way we see these relationships because we no longer base our worth on the approval of others but the approval we have already received from our Father through the work of His son. This quote is talking about how when you are in Christ, you are not comparing yourself to anyone else. When you are in Christ, God is your Father and he loves you unconditionally. You are not looking at anyone else or comparing them to God just because they are not okay with you being gay or whatever.

No one can change your relationship with God, so why compare yourself to anyone else? That’s how this quote applies to relationships. If God is your Father, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about you, because He loves you anyway.
