“WEAR CHRIST THE LORD’S ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS with ease. CHRIST THE LORD custom-made it for you, to cover you from head to toe. The price JESUS CHRIST paid for this covering was astronomical— HIS own blood. You could never purchase such a royal garment, no matter how hard you worked. Sometimes you forget that The LORD’S righteousness is a gift, and you feel ill at ease in your regal robe. JESUS CHRIST weeps when HE sees you squirming under the velvety fabric, as if it were made of scratchy sackcloth. GOD wants you to trust HIM enough to realize your privileged position in GOD’S kingdom. Relax in the luxuriant folds of your magnificent robe. Keep your eyes on The LORD, as you practice walking in this garment of righteousness. When your behavior is unfitting for one in CHRIST’S kingdom, do not try to throw off your royal robe. Instead, throw off the unrighteous behavior. Then you will be able to feel at ease in this glorious garment, enjoying the gift The LORD fashioned for you before the foundation of the world.”
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. EPHESIANS 4 : 22 – 24
Prayer: God, renew my mind and shape my heart and attitude to look more like yours today. And when my behavior is unfitting, help me to quickly throw off that behavior and humbly keep my robe of righteousness on with my head held high. Not because of who I am, but whose I am. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
