In this session, Eddie shares some thoughts and insights on Romans 13-15. We begin by looking at Romans 13:14:
But put you on the Lord Messiah Yeshua, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
The term “put on” is a reference to a priestly duty/function as we see in
1 Peter 1:9:
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
Paul explains that when we “put on” Messiah we are “immersed” in Messiah. This principle is seen in Galatians 3:27:
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
When we are immersed in Messiah, we are immersed and identified in His death:
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Romans 6:5-6
And we are also immersed and identified in His resurrection life:
For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. Romans 6: 7-8
