Put on Christ
Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 4:22-24; Philippians 1:21

How natural for people of the world to want to put on masks to camouflage the inadequacies and imperfections they behold in themselves. And indeed, they are quite adept at doing this. In the world, it is often the cleverest game-player who is most highly esteemed, the one who puts on the best show to impress others, and is most skilled in the art of fabrication.

The world is all caught up in staging productions, in living out real life soap operas. People desperately want to project themselves as winners who always come out on top; as glamorous heroes who felled the giant with one good shot and escaped without ruffling a hair. Marred by the Fall of Adam, the carnal mind is forever looking for ways to patch up that gnawing sense of inadequacy caused by the Fall. Above all things, a self-obsessed individual wants to persuade others that he is worthy of esteem and love.

This should not be the mindset of the believer. At salvation, a person faces the fact that he, by nature IS depraved and undone. He acknowledges that My love is bestowed by grace alone, not because of any sensational attributes or achievements he can boast of. There is only one thing he can do about his inadequacy: allow Me to remove the dirty rags of his old nature, and clothe him in Christ, his new Life.
