As believers we happen to have so much to be thankful for in regards to living in "America", as believers. So, where does being "American" fit in with all of this, especially on such a beloved holiday in America as "Independence Day". We do not belong to ourselves, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, to faithful Saviour Jesus Christ (Heidelberg Catechism, Question 1). There is a great comfort in knowing that we belong to and are identified first with Christ – not self Christ – not success Christ – not the acceptance or approval of man Christ – not achievement Christ – not health Christ – not nationality, or political affiliation. And this certainty brings about joy in this life. There is a great comfort in knowing who you are in Christ.
