Step Eight: Put on the Armor of Light
November 21, 2024
Romans 13:12 The night is almost over, and the day is near. Let's therefore put aside the actions of darkness and put on the armor of light.
The spiritual garment is the Lord Jesus Christ. This means I let the Lord be my armor, embracing Him over and over, and daily trusting Him in faith, thankfulness, and obedience.
I put on Christ when my old ways are nailed to the cross (own, confess and repent of sin) and I wear the grace and forgiveness of Jesus as a glorious garment for all the world to see. A garment that says, "I'm forgiven and never to be forsaken of Him."
Putting on the armor of Light means following Jesus Christ as His disciple, letting my life be conformed to the image of Him (Romans 8:29) and renewing my mind with His Word. (Romans 12:2)
To achieve this inner transformation that I have been working toward, I must rely wholly on my righteous standing before god which is made possible through Jesus Christ. Romans 3:22; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Now abide in Jesus and live a beautiful expression of being one with the Messiah and being clothed with all the graces which are found in Him
