Scripture Post #418: *PUT ON CHRIST*

Galatians 3:27: "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."

Context: This Scripture was from Apostle Paul and all the brethren which were with him, unto the Churches of Galatia (Gal. 1:1-2).

Rom. 13:14: "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."

Rom. 6:3: "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?"

V. 4: "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

V. 5: "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"

V. 6: "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin."

*PUT ON CHRIST* having died to sin, and live anew!

Col. 3:9: "Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;"

V. 10: "And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:"

Our new man is one with the LORD!

1st Cor. 6:17: "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."

To put on CHRIST is to put off our old selves (our old ways—how we were before we came to HIM) and to gain CHRIST's attributes. You don't put CHRIST on with the old you still there—CHRIST changes you and makes you new!
