Put on Christ

“[W]e are repeatedly told to “put on Christ” or to “clothe” ourselves with Christ. This is the costume of our new character. Instead of the fig leaves that, as children of Adam and Eve, we used to cover up our shame, God has provided the sacrificial clothing of Jesus Christ and his perfect righteousness, foreshadowed when he clothed Adam and Eve” (Michael Horton, A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God-Centered Worship, 56).
