Today’s Devotional
In this verse, Paul emphasizes the transformative power of our baptism into Christ. When we are baptized, we publicly identify with Jesus and His work of redemption. Through this act, we symbolically put on Christ like a garment, becoming new creations in Him. This imagery of being clothed with Christ highlights the spiritual transformation that takes place in our lives when we embrace the gospel, as we take on Christ’s righteousness and are united with Him.

As you reflect on the meaning of being clothed with Christ, consider the following questions:
- How has your baptism and faith in Christ transformed your life, your values, and your priorities?
- In what ways can you live out your identity in Christ in your daily life, actions, and relationships?
- How can you encourage and support others in their journey of faith and growth as they, too, become clothed with Christ?
