Deep Roots, Steady FaithNäide

Think of how a uniform or outfit can change how you carry yourself. Paul often used clothing as a metaphor for our new life in Christ. He’s saying: take off what no longer fits—shame, fear, insecurity—and put on what reflects who you really are.

When you put on Christ, you step into a new identity—like putting on a new uniform. His presence becomes what people see first. Not your weakness, your past, or your doubts.

Confidence in Christ doesn’t come from pretending to be strong. It comes from remembering who’s covering you. Every day is an invitation to get dressed in the truth: you are loved, forgiven, and empowered by Jesus.

Pray: Jesus, today I choose to put on your presence. Help me walk with confidence—not in myself, but in you. I want your peace, courage, and love to be the first thing others see in me.
