PUT ON YOUR NEW SUIT II

and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

-‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:24‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In Luke 11, the Lord told the Jews seeking for signs that the sign they will receive is the sign of Jonah. Upon all His deeds, they kept asking for signs upon signs. Psalms‬ ‭103:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ says, "He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel." This explains why they didn't understand God's ways of doing things.

What is His way? Christ is the way, the truth and life. That is why He wants us to enter through the narrow gate, He is the narrow gate, the gate for the sheep. In John‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬, He said "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture."

Through baptism, we are wearing Christ as clothes (Galatians 3:27). The Bible wants us to put it on, "put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." WE are not chosen to ask for signs to prove that we are children of God, indirectly asking God for paternity test. When Christ was in the world, nothing naturally showed that He is the Son of God, yet He never stopped declaring that He is the Son of God.

The same way, we should follow His ways. We should not allow our natural circumstances to define our sonship with the Father. If we rate our wealth by how much we own, or our health by our feelings , symptoms, what difference will it make, for the unbelievers do the same.

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO PUT ON OUR NEW SELF IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
