“For this corruptible must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal must be clothed with immortality.” 1 Corinthians 15:53 HCSB
What is temporary must be clothed with what will be eternal lasting. The things for this world that are corruptible and mortal must be clothed with the things of Heaven that are incorruptible and immortal. We must be clothed with Christ. Our actions must be clothed according to the Word of God.
The thing about clothes it is meant to cover. Clothing that does not cover is useless. But When it comes to Jesus He is wanting to completely cover us. The more we walk with Him the more He covers us. The more He covers us the less of the corruptible is visible. He must increase and I must decrease.
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
John 3:30 HCSB

“Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For everything that belongs to the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s lifestyle — is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God’s will remains forever.”

What in your life is trying to keep you not clothed In Christ? Is that thing worth more to you than God’s love? Be honest with yourself. For if you are not, then the only person you are deceiving is yourself. God already knows the truth and is willing to clothe you with His incorruptible love, passion, and desire.
“Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know.”
Jeremiah 33:3 HCSB

“When they arrive there, they will remove all its detestable things and practices from it. And I will give them one heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone from their bodies and give them a heart of flesh, so they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose hearts pursue their desire for detestable things and practices, I will bring their actions down on their own heads.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.”

Following God requires action on our part. Will we do what is required to let God be our God?
