The true revealer of man's Identity is not the mirror of this world but the Holy Spirit.
God the creator of heaven and the earth and every thing on earth including human being has from the point of creation established the significance of everything He created Only one thing is needed for man, he must find his way to God.
After that Jesus Christ has come to the earth to blot out the sin, guilt of sin and Identity confusion of man, it is expected that man run to Jesus and accept Him as Lord and Saviour. Because He says in the book of John 14:6 "...I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Nobody goes to God except through Jesus and nobody can know his true identity except he knows God.
After knowing Jesus there is yet another person to know. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He promised us someone, he called him a counselor and comforter who is the Holy Spirit. It the Holy Spirit that quickens our spirit to be alive to God. When you give your life to Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes upon your Spirit and dwell there. So, through your fellowship and relationship with this Holy Spirit, you become assured of who you are. He hears from God and tells you who you are.
However, it is essential to understand the fact that the Holy Spirit is in charge in this new testament era and through Him you can know what God the Father thinks of you, through the Holy Spirit you can know the Identity God gave you. This will not happen by default but through consistent relationship with him (the Holy Spirit).
The book of Romans chapter 8 vs 14-16 "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God."
It is the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit)that realigns you fully with your heavenly father and when He's in you, you have the boldness to call God your Father and therefore, your authority is restored to you as His Child.
