“Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 13:14.

Clothes can make a statement about a person. They are an effective way of showing outward expression.

Clothing yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ makes an outward statement to other people about who you are.

Galatians 3:26-27 tells us how to be clothed with Christ. It says: “You are all sons (and daughters) of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."

By believing in Jesus Christ we have received a new life (Romans 6:23). Baptism is an outward symbolism of this (Romans 6:4 MSG). We show we are joined with Christ. We put him on as if we were putting on clothes – new ones too!

God is concerned with the condition of the inner person, our heart and our minds (Jeremiah 17:10). But, it is people who see the outward expression of our beliefs and faith. Therefore, we must seek to be like Jesus Christ and wear him on the outside too.

If you have faith and are united with Christ then you should desire to be like him and desire other people to see him. They see Christ in your behavior, in the way you conduct yourself, in the new way of life that is different from the old life.

Resolve to show off your new clothes. Make that outward statement!
