Clothed, unclothed?
There is a "putting on" that is hypocritical
Because it is
wrongly motivated
It is pretending
However
There is no doubt that
I need to be 'covered'
Is Naked Ron
Or inappropriately clothed Ron 'acceptable' to God?
NO NO NO
"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them."
"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness"
This is not
Hypocrisy or
Pretend
This is faith
"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering"
These are not
AUTOMATIC
I have to
'PUT THEM ON'
Mere praying will not get this done, this takes a conscious deliberate act of will - this is OBEDIENCE
Meekness
Mercy
Kindness
Humbleness
Patience
Do I get up every day
fully 'dressed' with these?
Let the family testify!!
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
"above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."
AMEN
