Day 456 - Romans 13:11~14
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
To clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ to me means to believe that He is within me as long as I believe in His name and His completed work of salvation for you and me. In doing so, I gain the virtues to resist the ungodly desires of my flesh. It's about resting in Jesus and focusing on Jesus, not on being self-absorbed.
