Russell Baker

“You will not find your identity in what you have, but in who has you. You will not find your identity in what you do, but in what has been done for you. And you will not find your identity in what you desire, but in who has desired—at infinite cost to Himself—a relationship with you.”
― David Lomas, The Truest Thing about You: Identity, Desire, and Why It All Matters

“The truths of the gospel support and sustain the commands of the gospel. If we do not first understand the truth about who we are—the truest thing about us—we will be crushed by the weight of the commands.”
― David Lomas, The Truest Thing about You: Identity, Desire, and Why It All Matters

“We are often pursuing the renewal of our circumstances, but God is pursuing the renewal of our entire identity.”
― David Lomas, The Truest Thing about You: Identity, Desire, and Why It All Matters

“Before God tells us what to do, in other words, God tells us who we are.”
― David Lomas, The Truest Thing about You: Identity, Desire, and Why It All Matters
