When you know who you are, taking BIG risk makes sense... (1Timothy 6:11-12)
Paul knew that the quickest and most effective way to pull greatness out of his pupil Timothy was to remind him of who he really was . He might be tempted to be someone else, but Timothy was God's man-- that was his identity. In Timothy's life it meant fleeing inconsistent identities, fighting hard for what he believed, and being loyal to his calling as God's man.
In the same way, Jesus pulled His guys in tight to emphasize that their identity meant lining up on the right side of the ball.(John 15:19). The crystal clear message : -----blending in with the world is not the mark of His men...
Here is a fact---We risk more for God when our identity is firmly in God...
Are you on His team? (Luke6:46)
