What To Wear- Living in the Light of Eternity pt 1: (Romans 11-14)
In our passage, Paul uses the picture of taking off and putting on clothing to represent sanctification, the Christian’s forsaking the sins that remain in his remaining fallenness or flesh and embracing the righteousness of his new self, his new creation in Jesus Christ. But before the apostle presents that vital truth, he wants to have his readers’ full attention on 3 essential factors. He urges them to wake up first of all, from their spiritual lethargy and secondly, to wake up from their sin. Paul is saying that you can not fully put on Christ until you see how easy it is for a Christian to be spiritually lethargic in their faith and how easily they can get weighed down in their sin.
