What to Wear?

Robert Colman notes that, “Reflective man produces new philosophies; it is only regenerate man who holds the clue to a society that is really new.”  The regenerate person is renewed, born again of Spirit, they are the person who will “put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator” (Col 3:10). 

The philosophies of man births only ills and sufferings that society’s institutions were to heal.  A society that wears Christ is one where we are not reflecting on mankind’s philosophies, but where we “do by not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but [are] transformed by the renewing of your mind,” to be like Christ, knowing “what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2-3).

It would be a renewed society, community in which to “Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature” (Romans 13:14).
