It is crucial to know who we are. The world loves to label us – by our gender, by our ethnicity, by our job – but as Christians our identity is not in those labels. We are ‘in Christ’. We are united to him by faith. Knowing who we are in Christ gives us the security to be able worship him and to live for him. This devotional digs into what that means, how it impacts our lives, and why it matters most who God says we are.

With her characteristic warmth, wisdom, and wit, Jean Gaffin’s ‘Who He Says I Am’ explores the riches of the believer’s identity in union with Christ by faith. Each chapter touches on a different aspect of Christ in us, the hope of glory, and in that context encourages women primarily, and all believers generally, to live out of this reality, just as Jean did throughout her life. May this book lead many to glorify Christ, who ‘deigns to make us one with him’ (Calvin).

… an accessible and insightful summary of Scriptural teaching that elevates the understanding, stirs the heart and encourages deeper study of and greater fidelity to God’s Word. Ideal for self–study, it is also an excellent guide for small groups and Bible studies.

With biblical wisdom coupled with an endearing modesty and practicality it takes us to the heart of living the Christian life. And, truth to tell, Who He Says I Am is simply a transcript of the Christ–reflecting life Jean Gaffin herself lived, as a woman who knew where her true identity was found.

I never knew Jean Gaffin personally. I live thousands of miles away from her on the other side of the world, but I knew her reputation. She was a woman who loved the word of God, and she led other women in her church and elsewhere to delight in it too. This book is evidence of her love for Christ and the Scriptures.
