Many have lost sight of Jesus. We need to have our eyes directed to His divine person, His merits, and His changeless love for the human race.
All power is given into His hands (Matthew 28:18), that He may dispense rich gifts unto men, imparting the priceless gift of His own righteousness to us helpless humans.
When we completely surrender ourselves to Christ, a new power takes possession of the heart. A change is wrought that man can never do himself.
It is a supernatural work (Psalm 51:10). But we must submit to this transforming power in order to be covered by Christ and His righteousness. There will be an outward evidence of the indwelling Spirit and righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Those who are sanctified by the truth will be self controlled and follow in the footstep of Christ, who did no sin. They will become "servants of righteousness" (Romans 6:18) - servants of right doing, not servants of sin.
But there is something that stops the majority from being clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
The love of worldly music, entertainment, television, movies, unhealthful food and other ungodly things that have clouded the minds, keeping us in slavery to sin and Satan, and keeping us from this new birth and regeneration into the Spirit and life of Christ.
The heart that is absorbed in worldly interests, CANNOT be given up to God, and therefore cannot be under the full influence of Christ. Which is why we need to EMPTY ourselves, and DIE to this flesh and sin each day, (Romans 6:2,11).
Please don't ignore this point. The reason Jesus cannot fill many of us with His Spirit today, is because we are still full of the 'junk' of the world.
What did Jesus do to save us? As Philippians 2:7 says, He 'emptied Himself' and became one of us. And this is what we must do in order for Christ to be able to make His abode with us. We must EMPTY ourselves and surrender all to Him. THEN Christ can come and dwell with us.
This is why we must be "BORN AGAIN" - The 'old man' (sinful mind) must die, in order for the 'new man' (mind of Christ) to live in us.
PLEASE NOTE:
We are not saying that Christ dwells in our flesh, in our muscles, legs, arms, literal heart, etc. This kind of thinking leads to the 'holy flesh' deception. No, what we are saying is that the Spirit of Christ comes into our minds, leading us in the truth, comforting us, helping, guiding and teaching us.
When we fully submit to Jesus Christ, our hearts are united with His heart. Our will, is merged with His will. Our minds, become one with His mind, and all our thoughts are brought into captivity to Him (2 Corinthians 10:5), and His words and life are lived out in us (Galatians 2:20).
This is what it means to be clothed with the garments of Christ's righteousness. Then as God looks upon us, he no longer sees the fig leaf garment that Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with, nor the nakedness caused by the deformity of sin, but Christ's own robe of righteousness which is in perfect obedience to the great and Holy law of Jehovah.
But do not become disheartened or discouraged and overcome if you do commit sin. For we have an Advocate with God in Jesus Christ the righteous ... 1 John 2:1 ...'My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.'
Yet we will HATE the sin that caused the suffering of our precious Saviour, and will seek to, sin no more, through Jesus Christ.
