"Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 13:14
When we go to visit people, we always think of our dress.
Now in the same way, when anyone thinks of approaching God he knows he must be clothed
with righteousness, because without it he cannot meet God. For this reason,
righteousness is a fundamental issue in Christian living.
Forgiveness is like taking a bath; whereas righteousness
is like wearing a robe. Among men we are clothed so that we may appear before them.
So, too, God clothes us with righteousness so that we may live before him. Does
God’s Word say that he will clothe us with the righteous robe of the Lord Jesus,
or that he will clothe us with the Lord Jesus as our righteous robe? In point
of fact, what we do read is that we are to be clothed with the Lord Jesus
himself. We are to put him on. Thus clad, we can walk before God with boldness
at all times.
