A matching wardrobe

Some like khaki pants, others just jeans.
Some like long sleeve shirts, others prefer them sleeveless.
Some prefer skirts, others some comfortable pants.
Some prefer ties, others just a t-shirt.
Some prefer sandals, others prefer closed toe shoes.

It's hard to find someone that will wear the exact same outfit you're wearing, unless you agree to wear the same thing on purpose, which some times happens.

As Christians, God calls us to have matching outfits all the time. This might not be obvious at the first impression, but as people get to know you, they'll realize that we're all wearing the same thing…

"Put on the garments that suit God's chosen people, his own, his beloved: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience" Colossians 3:12

"You have all put on Christ as a garment." Galatians 3:27

"Put on love." Colossians 3:14

If Christ has called us to put on these garments, to be otherwise dressed is inappropriate.

The clothes we wear are what people see. Only God can look on the heart. The outward signs are important. They reveal something of what is inside. If charity is there, it will become visible outwardly, but if you have no charitable feelings, you can still obey the command. Put it on as simply and consciously as you put on a coat. You choose it; you pick it up; you put it on. This is what you want to wear. (Elisabeth Elliot Devotional)

I once heard that we (Christians) might be "the only Bible some people will ever read", and this is true. Our behavior, attitude, language and even the way we handle every trial, is being closely watched by people that don't know Christ, so we have to "put on" the right clothes every day, in order that through them, they can see the Great Designer of the Universe…God!

If you are a Christian, you ought to dress like one, to honor the man that died on a cross, taking the place we should've been in.

Do you want to dress like one? Then put on Christ, who is love, patience, gentleness, humility, compassion…All these things might be hard to wear some times, but as we obey him every day, it'll get easier each and every time to throw away the old garment, and put on the new one.

So…What will you choose to wear today?
