Can someone explain whats the relationship between identity, purpose, and creator? Also, how does that relationship relate to morality?

Update:

More clearly: explain the relationship between identity, purpose, and creator. Tell me how this relates to morality.

    I identify with Christ Jesus as God in human flesh who created all things. My purpose is to do the will of God and to obey the moral laws of God. It is God who told man, "Thou shalt not steal, kill, etc."

    Adam and Eve conceived 2 sons at first and they were Cain and

    Abel. Because of the fall of Adam sin came into the world and to show that man is inherently evil, the first thing that happened is Cain slew and killed Abel his own brother. It is the belief in God and fear of the Lord that restrains man from doing evil. A believer knows that God knows everything that he does so the believer fears the wrath of God. God's wrath will come down on all evil doers. The Ten Commandments were given so man could realize that he needed a Savior. Man continually sins when he does what it right in his own eyes but God sent that Branch of Himself called Jesus the Christ, the Son of God into the world so that the world through Him might be saved. We were dead in our sins with no hope of eternal life that Adam, Eve and Satan lost in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve did not listen to God. But God sent Jesus to take away our sins if we accept Jesus as our sacrifice. Jesus was the final sacrifice for sin. The blood of animals could not take away sin, they only covered it for awhile. The blood of Jesus took away sin and gave us His righteousness to those who believe. This was in God's plan from the creation of the world. That God would send Jesus to destroy the works of the devil. What a wonderful Savior, I serve.

    Identity - exists.

    Purpose - is self generated.

    creator - is non-existent. (unless you are talking about my parents).

    Morality (the idea of concepts that are right and wrong) has nothing to do with any of these things.

    Christians do not have a monopoly on morality. Morals come from inside all of us.

    Can you be more clear? I don't understand what you have in your mind when you asked this question.
