Ephesians 4:22-24

After we receive Jesus as our Savior, He doesn’t leave us floundering out on our own in the world. Or asking, “What’s next?” Instead He gives us His Spirit to guide us, and His Word as a blueprint for life. And here in Ephesians, Paul tells us how we can live a life of victory and one the glorifies the Lord. He begins by telling us that as believers we are united with Jesus, who now sits at the right hand of God. And as such, it’s time to get rid of the old and put on the new. Time to shed our old clothes of disobedience, sin, and earthly living. Time to dress as the royalty we are and put on our new clothes of righteousness. For we are citizens of heaven and should dress like it. No longer are we to wear the filthy rags of immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, but rather the designer clothes of glory that reflect “those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved.” (Col. 3:12)

Revelation 3:5

When my son was seven, his classroom did a project where all the children were able to write and publish their own story. And the smile on his face when the finished book arrived in the mail, was one I’ll never forget. He beamed with pride as saw his name as author and illustrator. God too has a book. The book of life. And we will beam with thankfulness over our names being found in it. The “book of life”, is also called “the scroll of life” or “book of remembrance.” And in it contains the names of the people who are to receive the gift of everlasting life. The greatest memoir of all, God has written the names of those He calls His own in a book since the “founding of the world.” (Rev. 17:8) Those who have trusted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. And how very thankful are we to know we are in God’s book. For we will be clothed in righteousness and dwell with the most high God forever!

Colossians 3:12

Did you know that one of the many hats Jesus wears is that of a personal stylist? As our Redeemer, He provides us with the perfect Christian outfit. Once we were clothed in darkness, eternally separated by sin from our Creator. But out of His great love, Jesus pulled us from that darkness and purchased us at great cost to Himself. And because of our relationship with Him, we are now citizens of heaven and should dress like it. No longer are we to wear the filthy rags of immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed. Instead we proudly wear the designer clothes of righteous glory that reflect “those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved.” (vs. 12)

Colossians 3:10 

Who doesn’t love putting on a beautiful brand new outfit? When we receive Jesus as our Savior, we get the grandest of all clothes. Before we knew Him, we wore filthy rags of sin. But now we are clothed in white robes of righteousness, glorious and clean. And each day, we are to put on the beautiful outfit Jesus died to purchase for us. We do this by allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our hearts and minds as we spend time daily in God’s Word. So each morning get up, get dressed, and give thanks for new self God offers to all who believe in Him!
