“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.”

Colossians 3:2 – 3
Much of our esteem arises from various aspects of our lives --- gender, heritage, possessions, accomplishments and how others perceive us. Yet, when we entered into a relationship with Christ, we “died to this life” and our “real life” began “hidden with Christ in God.” The phrase “hidden with Christ in God” means our life now rests safely locked away in Christ. He is our life now. We are in Christ and we have all the benefits Christ has as a beloved one of God. This alone opens up a treasure that changes our soul and our outlook in life. It reiterates the most important truth of our lives --- we’re bound to Christ forevermore.
I wish I could honestly say I don’t let the opinions of this world steal my identity in Christ. I struggle with it every day. And I know even then, God hasn’t changed His mind about me. I can still confidently believe what God says about me (and you, too). So what do we have to worry about? What do we have to fear? If God is for us then who can be against us?
Raquel Wroten, Hidden With Christ in God
