As God's Elect

The people of God, the elect, are to be distinguished.  We are admonished to "put on therefore, as the elect of God,..."  Colossians 3:12.  The garments of our dress are mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, forbearance, forgiveness, and love.  We dress differently from the world about us.  We conduct our lives differently from others.  We, the elect, are to make a difference in our world. The person who wears these garments will improve our world.  These are divine graces.  These are heavenly garments.  Only those who know God and follow Christ are worthy to wear such dress.  The person who dresses in such attire walks in the heavenly realm.  The elect are delivered from the filthiness of evil and have been transformed into the very image of Jesus.  Rebirth and renewal gives us the right of such a wardrobe.  God has called us to election, and we must answer the call and place into our heart these holy and Godly qualities.  God enables us to dress with the clothing of heaven.  Let us dress as God would have us dress.
