David Powlison, True Identity

“No aspect of your identity is self-referential…Your opinion of yourself is far less important than God’s opinion of you, and accurate self assessment is derivative of God’s assessment. True identity is God-referential.”

-David Powlison, The Therapeutic Gospel. The Journal of Biblical Counseling. Volume 25. Number 3.
