As we continue to talk about identity in the process of renewal, we will look at the false identities we so easily entertain. In Paul's letter to the Ephesians, he calls the people of God to avoid the way of the Gentiles and in doing so, repeatedly emphasizes that the core of the battle is in our minds. Putting off and putting on takes place in the thought processes and imaginations of the people of God. In order to fully put on the new, we must be aware of the false identities that have shaped our thinking. These false identities involve the names we called by culture, by others, by our sin and by ourselves. Transformation that stems from the renewal of our minds begins here and reveals in the truth of our real identity.
