A New Set of Clothes – Ephesians 4:17-32

Ephesians 4:17-32

We’re talking about a new set of clothes in Eph 4. Paul uses this metaphor, of “taking off and putting on” (clothes) to talk about what happens when you become a Christian.Of course, he’s not talking about physical clothes, but spiritual clothes – for a person may change their outer appearance and be a fifthly spiritually. The “clothes of Christ” changes everything. When we put on Christ, we receive a new spiritual identity and must now live differently. When a Christian puts off that corrupt garment of the old self (22), and puts on the new self recreated in God’s image (24), he then has new expectations and responsibilities corresponding to his identity. So what are you wearing? Have you come to know Christ? Are you dressed in his righteousness? If so, live out your new identity as new creations in Christ, for the good of others and the glory of God.
