Each day, you probably do something that is a reminder of what growing in Godās grace is like: Changing Clothes. In Colossians, the Apostle Paul used this analogy to help Christians understand faith maturation.
Colossians 3:10 says, āā¦Since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of the creator.ā
Notice, “taken offā and “put on.ā The image is that of changing clothes. Word pictures can aid us in understanding the complexities of how grace works helping us become like Christ. Often at the beginning of each day, as I prepare for the day and get dressed, I think about āputting on Christ.ā How about you?
During this week, every time you change clothes, imagine putting on Christ and trust in the Holy Spiritās work of transformation.
