Book of Galatians - Chapter 3 - Verse 27

3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Meaning

When we are baptized into Christ, we are symbolically putting on Christ like a garment. This signifies a deep spiritual union with Him, where we take on His character, His nature, and His righteousness. By being baptized into Christ, we are identifying ourselves with His death, burial, and resurrection, and publicly declaring our faith in Him as our savior. This act of baptism represents a new beginning, a transformation of our old self into a new creation in Christ. It is a symbolic washing away of our sins and a commitment to walk in obedience to Him. Through baptism, we are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, and are now members of His body, the church. As we "put on Christ" through baptism, we are called to live a life that reflects His love, grace, and truth to the world around us.
