Designer Clothes

May 8th – Ephesians 4:22-24

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)

February 1st – Colossians 3:12

Colossians 3:12

How much time you spend choosing your clothes for the day? Do you carefully pick out pieces that perfectly coordinate, or are you the throw on and go type? How we dress represents to the world who we are. And as citizens of heaven our attire should reflect those who have been, “chosen of God, holy and beloved.” That means throwing away the filthy rags of immorality, greed, and wickedness. Choosing instead to put on our God given spiritual outfit. An outfit built on a foundation of a Christlike love. And perfectly coordinated with the accessories of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. We are called to be distinguishable from the rest of the world, with love being evident in everything we do. So much so that when people see us in our godly outfits, they’ll want to know who the designer is!

Colossians 3:12

One of the hardest choices we make in the morning, is what to wear. Often I find myself standing in front of my closet wishing I had a personal stylist. But guess what? As Christians we have access to an outfit that is perfect for every occasion and never goes out of style! As our Redeemer, Jesus takes our filthy rags of wickedness and clothes us in the ultimate designer clothes of His righteous glory. Magnificent robes that are to sparkle with the Lord’s kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bearing one another in love, and forgiving each other with same grace shown to us. Through the blood of Jesus we are now citizens of heaven. And each day we are to dress like it. Obediently wearing our heavenly attire that reflects “those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,” for all to see!
