English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Putting On Christ in Our Lives “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” — Galatians 3:27 INTRODUCTION: A TIMELESS AND URGENT CALL Brethren, we live in a generation that is heavily clothed with the garments of pride, selfish ambition, immorality, and worldly conformity.

It is often linked with the phrase “eternal security” in Protestant theology.
