The Prime Identity

The Prime Identity…

Traditionally, married women take the name of their husband. Even in cultures where they had no last names, the woman was still known by her husband’s identity.

As believers, we’re Jesus’s bride, and the bride must take the name of her husband. In a sense, we already have it. The word Messianic, or Christian, is basically the bride or the church, wearing the name of her husband.

Deeper than that, it means that as a bride, you bear the identity of your husband. It doesn’t matter who you once were. You now have the new identity of Jesus. That’s the sign you’re married.

You don’t live as you used to live, defeated. You live as someone who’s blessed, victorious, innocent, righteous, pure, and beautiful in God. That’s who He is, and that’s what you received in Him. It’s not a prideful thing. It’s a simple married thing.

Take the name of Jesus. Wear it – it is your privilege, your blessing, your calling as a bride. Be beautiful, holy, and blessed in Him. It’s the blessing of the bride to wear the bridegroom’s name.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.  Galatians 2:20

Immerse yourself in Jesus’s identity today so that everyone around you will see you as His beautiful bride.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
