Isaiah 61:10 AMPC
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
During the heatwave it was so refreshing to take off the sweaty clothes, jump in the shower to wash off the heat of the day. Then put on clean clothes.
In a real spiritual sense, Jesus has washed me clean from my sin stained heart and given me His new, clean "clothes" to wear.
These "clothes" are made by Him and not of my own doing.
I "wear" His right-standing with God because my own goodness won't do!
Isaiah 64:6
We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Thankfully, this is not the end of the story:
Ephesians 2:5 AMPC
Even when we were dead in our own shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; it is by grace that you are saved.
Each day I have Jesus' new clean clothes to wear!
When I've gotten into some hot sticky mess because of my sin, it's time to shower off in Jesus' precious blood and get dressed in His Robe.
Hallelujah!
