Clothed in Christ
Commentators explain that "putting on the Lord Jesus Christ" is a powerful metaphor for actively adopting His character. It means to imitate His example, obey His teachings, and be empowered by His Spirit. This isn't just a one-time event at conversion but a daily, conscious decision to align your life with His, reflecting His purity, peace, and holiness in your conduct.
