DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.L. Moody emphasizes that being baptized into Christ means more than
just receiving His righteousness; it involves putting on Christ Himself
as our spiritual garment. He explains that Christians are not only to
bear Christ but to wear Him, allowing His presence and Spirit to be
evident in their lives. This transformation should be so profound that
others see Christ reflected in us, just as they see our clothing. Moody
encourages believers to engage in deep communion with Christ, embodying
His character and grace in their daily lives.

As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
--Galatians 3:27

Not simply the righteousness of our Savior, not simply the beauty of His
holiness or the graces of His character, are we to put on as a garment.
The Lord Himself is our vesture. Every Christian is not only a Christ-
bearer but a Christ-wearer. We are so to enter into Him by communion, to
be so endued with His presence, and imbued with His Spirit that men
shall see Him when they behold us, as they see our garments when they
look upon our bodies. --A. J. Gordon
