GALATIANS 3: 27 ~ "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
You read it right. We have "put on" Christ. When God looks at us, He doesn't see us; He sees Christ. We "wear" Him. We are hidden in Him; we are covered by Him. As the song says, "Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne."
Presumptuous, you say? Sacrilegious? It would be if it were my idea. But it isn't; it's His.
