Alot have been said and written concerning knowing oneself. The question we are asking today is whether or not as Christians, we know who we really are.
To know yourself, you really have to know what you are made of, your basic components. In order words, you really have to know your source. A meat-pie for instance can only be as good as the ingredients used to make it. You therefore can only know yourself when you know what is inside of you, and for you to know what is inside of you, you will have to ask your maker. Let me let you know that, our maker did not hide this information from us because He wants us to know who we are.
In Genesis chapter one, God created us in His image and likeness, in chapter two of the same Genesis, He breathed into man and man became a living being. From Genesis account of the bible:
1. You are created in the image and likeness of God; Meaning that you look exactly like Him
2. You are a living being using His breath; Meaning that your life is an extension of His.
Since you look like Him and are using a part of His life, it therefore follows that, for you to know yourself, you first have to know Him-His nature and attributes.
We therefore encourage you to begin your journey of self discovery from the Source and Creator of all things. You cannot know yourself without knowing God.
