All humans are identity-seekers. We are not able to generate an identity isolated from others. We need to be given an identity in comparison to other persons. There are only two sources of identity:from other humans or from God. Paul refutes human-originated identity and instead promotes the superiority of a God-bestowed identity which is a one-time gift but a daily decision to reaffirm.
