Who am I? Its an age old question that everyone must find out for theirself.
I believe our identity and who we are is found in Christ. When we accept Him into our lives He makes us a brand new creation and who we are is found in our spirits, making us co-heirs with Christ and sons and daughters of the King! (Rom 8:17)
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God..." - 1 John 3:1
If every believers identity is found in christ does this make us all the same? Are we not all unique, with our own qualities that make us who we are?
I believe we are all the same in Christ, all being a new creation. But, I think that who we are individually, what makes us unique from other christians, is every good thing Christ has placed in us. Not our failures or short-comings. Whether it is a kind personality, or faithfullness, or God given tallents etc. all these things with first our righteousness in Christ make us unique individuals hidden in Christ.
