1. Clothed with Christ (26-27)

Through faith in Christ we have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit has given us new birth into the family of God. We have been washed clean and we have on new clothes. All the dirty sins of our past lives have been washed away and all the dirty clothes of our own righteousness have been put off. We have all been clothed in Christ.

2. One in Christ Jesus (28-29)

Everyone who belongs to Jesus is Abraham's seed and an heir of God's promise. There is no distinction of race, gender, social position or any other human condition among those who belong to Jesus. This means that I am precious to God and all my brothers and sisters in Christ are also precious, for Jesus died for each one of us. We are Abraham's seed, so the promises of God belong to us. As was Abraham, we too are blessed to be a blessing.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for clothing me in Christ and making me an heir of your promises.
