Put On Christ

Different things happen to us that we ask ourselves, as they happen, "why?" Things go down. Things go wrong. Things don't work out. Things can't come together. You go off. You can't keep things together. You can't manage life. You can't cope. You can't make things work out for your good. Again we ask, "why?"

Do we ever thing to stop and think that if we were functioning in Christ we would have some of these answers? Do we ever think that if we acknowledged Christ in everything that we did that some of these things would cease to occur? I'm just going to put it on out there... Do we ever think about Christ?

Christ is our provider. Christ is our protector. Christ is our ambassador. Christ is our healer and our caregiver. Christ is our comforter. Christ is the light at the end of the tunnel, as well as the light on the way to the end of the tunnel! Christ is just so much, but do we ever think about Christ?

On Sunday morning, my pastor had the topic "Put on Christ". He had the thought that if we wore Christ like we were supposed to, we would be better able to walk through life as Christ wanted us to walk. being holy for Christ was Holy. I'm going to take it a step further. In Ephesians, chapter 6 verses 14-17, gives us things that we can spiritually wear to prepare ourselves to deal with our obstacles. The breastplate of righteousness is our holy morals. It's the standard that we stand for concerning God. The shield of Faith is your belief in God and all of his power and might. If your faith is strong, nothing can get past that shield. Your faith keeps you close to God! The sword of the truth is your weapon to make your enemies fall before you. The weapon that God gave is none other than the word of God. The Bible is the most effective weapon against every enemy that you will face! The helmet of salvation is what keeps your mind. The Blood that Christ shed on the cross is what protects us and makes it possible for us to be forgiven.

These things make up Christ. When you effectively wear Christ who can come against you? The scripture already tells us that no weapon formed against us will prosper, but you gotta have some kind of protection on! You don't walk in front of a bullet without protection. There's no logic in that. Put on Christ! The best armor there ever was and ever will be!
