Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.

Believer's reality is beyond human comprehension. No one can understand the true identity of a child of God except by revelation. Your definition is not in your possession nor in your lack. The real definition of a believer is in the revelation of the resurrected Christ.

While most people are define by what they have, drive, background etc, the reality of a believer is deeply rooted in the person of Christ. Paul wrote to Colossians that they should not define themselves with their past life. Once you identify with Christ, all of His work is credited to you, His death becomes your death, His burial your burial, and His resurrection is now your resurrection. As He is now so you are, not when He shall return but now. Halleluyah!

2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

The newness of your life is the exact resurrected life of Christ. You are in the exact image of His resurrection. As He is now so are you in your inner man. This is the reason people need revelation to really know you, it is because this reality is in you now. Christ in you is the hope of glory that will be revealed through you.

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

As you express the life within you, the world begin to see you as Him. Step out today with full confidence of the reality of your new life in Him.
