Isaiah 61:10-11 (NCV): “The Lord makes me very happy. All that I am rejoices in my God. He has covered me with the clothes of salvation and wrapped me with a coat of goodness, like a bride- groom, dressed for his wedding, like a bride dressed in jewels.”
As children of God, we have the right to enter the presence of our Heavenly Father. We do not have to go through another person or request permission from an Arch Angel. We can go boldly to the throne
of God (Hebrews 4:16). How can imperfection and sin approach a Holy God? Well, just like mom made you drop the muddy clothes at the door before coming into the house, God instructs us to change our clothes! He clothes us in Christ. You see, apart from Christ, God is inaccessible to us. Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the father is through me” (John. 14:6).
In Christ, however, we are covered with His goodness, His sinlessness, and His holiness. When we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we get new clothes! Galatians 3:27 says, “For through faith you are all sons of God in union with Christ Jesus. Baptized into union with him, you have all put on Christ as a garment.” When we are robed in Christ, we can come into the presence of God without question or fear. We are accepted and welcomed by our Father.
Rejoice ...Your garments are spotless in Christ today!
