Confidence from a known identity

“Who am I?” is a fundamental question. Each of us has a need for identity. Peter speaks to this need right away to the letter’s recipients in 1 Peter 1:1-2. He identifies them as strangers in the world (citizens of heaven living on earth—Phil 3:20), chosen as God’s elect to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and believe in him.

How does knowing one’s identity build confidence? Identity is valuable. Underscore this by presenting information about identity theft.
