There is an old saying that goes, “Fine clothes make the man.” This is not entirely wrong.
There was an interesting experiment demonstrating that what one wears influences his behavior. Adam Galinsky, a social psychologist, divided university students into two groups, and let one group of students wear white lab coats and the other group, street clothes; then he showed a screen which randomly displayed green and red colors with the words “green” and “red” at the bottom. He examined how well they could notice incongruities when the color and the word were incongruent. As a result, the students in the doctor’s coats did twice as well as those who wore street clothes in noticing that the color and the word were incongruent. They performed much better in concentration simply because they wore the doctor’s coats.
The gospel workers who have accepted the truth are those who are clothed with Christ (Gal 3:27). Even though we may have lived as we pleased, let us now strive to follow the path of Christ who set the example of love and humility for us. The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who live holy and godly lives, being clothed with Christ.
[A]ll of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:27
