The word Wear Means: to put on (as a repeated habitual action). We all have formed the habit of getting dressed every morning putting on our wardrobe. We each have our own style. For some people, it’s not all that important to what they put on, while others are extremely focused with what they wear, and how they look -down to the last detail. What we wear can be important, it can tell a lot about the mindset of an individual, or what job they may have or an event they may be attending. The same is true when we PUT ON Christ – We wear the Word. The Word says; when we were baptized into Christ we have clothed ourselves with Him. Just as we have formed a habit of wearing our style of clothing. We need to remember we are also wearing Christ 24/7- We are His ambassadors. Eph. 5:1 Be Imitators of God By Putting On and Faithfully Executing the Fruit of the Spirit; wrapping ourselves with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness, we are doing just that. To let our (Actions, Deeds, and Words) be evident to all - to who Christ is and emulate Him in every way. As Christians, we are watched and judged more intensely than others. Our actions, our words, commitments, our response, or how we handle difficult situations –And when we do have our human moments – wow!! Judgment can come harsh and not just on us …but on our Lord, our Brothers and Sister in Christ as well as the Kingdom itself. It is not always easy– but this is a habit we need to build on each and every day. As we read His Word daily - we wrap the word of God around us and it becomes a part of us. Matt 5:16 let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. vjb
