Having a particular set of clothes on may cause people to expect a specific behavior. When we "put on the Lord Jesus," it can and should elicit a particular set of behaviors. How well are you wearing your clothes?

When we accept Christ, we are made righteous through His shed blood. The Bible says to " Put on the Lord Jesus." We are also asked to "put on" many other things, and it takes active participation on our part.

You might have heard it said that "the clothes make the man," and that can also be true when it comes to spiritual matters. The apostle Paul tells us to "Put off the old man and clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ." We can choose to do what he suggests, and it will determine how effective we can be for Christ.

When you are in the middle of the storm, finding hope or understanding why God doesn't just make everything right. But there is a way to see through it if we realize the hope we have not just to get through but even during the storm.

There are different schools of thought about our salvation. Some believe that you can live any way you want, and others believe that what you do matters. Which is it?

When we think of a king and what he would be like, we may think of a tyrant or someone to be feared, but that isn't the king we serve. His is a different kind of kingship, one that is easy to give our allegiance to.
