Verse from Romans

“总要披戴主耶稣基督...”
‭‭罗马书‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ...”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭

According to Paul, we can wordlessly represent Christ. Romans 13:14 tells us to “clothe [ourselves] with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” What does this mean?

When we become Christians, we take on Christ’s identity. We’re “children of God through faith” (Gal. 3:26–27). That’s our status. Yet each day we need to clothe ourselves in His character. We do this by striving to live for and to be more like Jesus, growing in godliness, love, and obedience and turning our back on the sins that once enslaved us.

This growth in Christ is a result of the Holy Spirit working in us and our desire to be closer to Him through study of the Word, prayer, and time spent in fellowship with other Christians (John 14:26). When others look at our words and attitudes, what statement are we making about Christ?

When others see us, may what they see speak well of the Savior.
