Clothed With Salvation

What does what you wear say about who you are? Does who you are also determine what you wear?

As followers of Jesus, we are called to put on Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Rome, saying, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” (Romans 13:14, ESV).

The follower of Jesus is clothed with the character of God, and clothes himself with God’s salvation and righteousness, as we do not have any of our own.

God spoke through the Prophet Isaiah, saying, “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” (Isaiah 61:10, ESV).

When we put on Christ, we clothe ourselves with his salvation and righteousness. Being able to adorn these blessings of God is worthy of our celebration and rejoicing in God.

May we rejoice in the Lord as we are clothed by God with his garments of salvation and robe of righteousness.

A Prayer for Union With Christ, Anima Christi: “Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within thy wounds hide me. Permit me not to be separated from thee. From the wicked foe defend me. In the hour of my death call me, and bid me come to thee, that with thy saints I may praise thee for ever and ever. Amen.” (#96., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
