Romans 13:13-14 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.… (Children's Sermon): — It is — I. A NEW DRESS. 1. It is not our natural dress. 2. It is of peculiar excellence. II. A RICH DRESS. To put on Christ is to put on — 1. Humility, as the tunic, always worn, fitting the body close. 2. Love, as the cloak, often taken off to cast round others. 3. Truth, as the girdle, making the wearer strong and ready for work. 4. Obedience, as the sandals. III. A CHURCH DRESS, because — 1. It is the best. It is right to wear the best dress in church. 2. It is sacred. IV. A COURT DRESS. You will wear this dress in heaven. Keep it well, then; you are to see the King in it. (J. Edmond, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. |
