Who Am I? Solving the Identity Puzzle

Who am I? This question holds great significance, and the answer is defining a generation and impacting eternity. Martyn Iles, the Executive CEO of Answers in Genesis, masterfully equips this generation with truth and hope providing a compelling biblical apologetic on this issue of identity in his book, Who Am I? 

The freedom to create or choose your own identity is being normalized by our culture. This self-created worldview leads to self-worship. According to Iles, this age of identity “is immunizing a generation against a sense of their sinfulness and desperate need before God. It is telling them to take that for which Christ had to die — their “true selves” — and to embrace it, live by it, and be proud of it. This is a message that ensures people will never get over the threshold of God’s kingdom because they will never be poor in spirit. It is condemning a generation to hell.” Pg 32 

“As you read this book, you’ll dive deep into Genesis and God’s design for mankind. Martyn pulls out eternal truths that the church has long taught and known and applies them anew for a lost and confused generation. And he does so in a way that points to Christ and His completed work for us on the Cross.” Ken Ham, Founding CEO of Answers in Genesis

In Whom Am I?, Martyn Iles grounds human identity in the biblical portraits of mankind found in Genesis and the New Testament—as creature, image-bearer, and dominion-wielder, as well as in his fallen and restored states. Expressive individualism has taken Western society by storm and has led to confusion, identity crises, depression, anxiety, misery, and even suicide—especially among young people. The only remedy for this dire situation is the liberating gospel of Jesus Christ, the true Man, who restores us to our true humanity, grounds our identity in Himself, points us away from ourselves toward God and others, and reconciles us with the triune God in everlasting bliss. In this engaging, relevant, and thought-provoking book, Iles boldly tackles controversial issues of anthropology from a biblical perspective—from work to gender identity and confusion, to the distinct roles of men and women. My prayer is that the Lord will mightily use this work to bring the gospel to the next generation!
