The Fitting Room: Put On The Perfect Garment
"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
Romans 6:3
Recently, I came across an article entitled "Mirror, mirror on the wall: Department store fitting rooms go high tech"1
NEW YORK — Imagine a fitting room with a "smart" mirror that suggests jeans to go with the red shirt you brought in. It snaps a video so you can compare the image side-by-side with other colorful shirts you try on. It might even show you how the shirt will fit without you having to undress.
According to this article, the stores of the future may provide us with technology that can show you how an outfit will look on you - including a variety of alternatives - without having to take off your old garments.
Today, when we go shopping for clothing, we usually look around until we find an outfit that is appealing to us. Clothes should fit us just like they fit the mannequin. ;) Our next endeavor is to locate a fitting room so we can put on the outfit and see how it really looks on us. The clothes must have the right color, cut, length, etc., for our tastes.
Here's the problem, we must constantly return to the fitting rooms, we still have to purchase new garments regularly, and the old garments also need regular cleaning.
"And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment." Zechariah 3:4
What if we could be clothed in the perfect garment, that lasts for all eternity. This garment is always the perfect fit, color, and style. It would also be without blemish, because it was washed once and for all, alleviating any further need of cleansing. There is such a garment.
"If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?" Luke 12:28
Mortal man achieves union with the immortal self only through at-one-ment with his divine self. When you put on this Christos, or divine man, it awakens within you the Christ Consciousness. Christos is God in the soul of man. This Christos, or divine man in man is man's real hope of salvation; the living mediator between abstract Diety and mortal humankind. God is a presence personified in us.
So you want to know how to find this fitting room? RENIVATIO! Rebirth [Renivatio] is the entrance to the fitting room. When you enter this fitting room you must remove the old garments before you put on Christ [the baptism].
Still in the fitting room? Here are a few things you should know;
i. "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers," 1 Titus 1:9
ii. "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:20
iii. "Moveover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:..." Romans 5:12-13
iv. "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Romans 6:1-2
v. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
vi. "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins," Hebrews 10:26
vii. "The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law." 1 Corinthians 15:56
viii. "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God." Hebrews 7:19
ix. "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Galatians 5:14
x. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:2
Awake thou that slept and arise from the dead! TALITHA CUMI! Men and Women, now that you're awake, the process has already begun. Your indestructible eternal garment is being woven in righteousness. Wow! that garment looks good on you!
The Universal Law of Cause and Effect states that for every Effect there is a definite Cause, and likewise for every Cause there is a definite Effect.
All forms are theoretically resolvable into a universal energy and substance, upon which, and through which intelligence operates. "There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees. Our globe seen by God is a transparent law, not a mass of facts."2
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it."
Isaiah 55:11
