Identity is extremely important when dealing with missions and the Great Commission. Our identity must be found in Christ when we are doing missions because then there is nothing that is actually being done. Like I said before, I've realized that when our center isn't Christ and our identity is found in these material things like grades, friends, etc. we essentially waste our lives. We are running a race that really never ends, but with God in our heart, we run a race where the finish line suddenly becomes clear.
The Great Commission is going out and sharing the Gospel. If Christ isn't our identity, what are we really sharing? If anything, we're sharing how great of a person we are and how much other people need to listen to us. That isn't the commission that Jesus called us to do. So we need to strive to keep Jesus as our center because in Him all perfect things are found.
