Christians often borrow identity from labels Scripture never gave them.Phil points out that the New Testament is quieter and firmer, describing believers as citizens, household members, priests, and a people under a King—not denominations, movements, or factions.This isn’t a call to do more or feel more, but a reminder of what is already true.When identity is settled, obedience loses its pressure, forgiveness its fragility, and restraint begins to look like clarity rather than loss.Jesus is King, the church is His body, and believers belong to the household of God.
