Commentary on Galatians 3:27

Theological / Devotional

Baptized into Christ. See on Matt 3:6; Rom 6:3, 4.

Put on Christ. See on Rom. 13:14; cf. on Matt. 22:11. The word here translated “put on” is commonly used with reference to clothing. To “put on” Christ means to adopt His principles, to imitate His example, to accept His guidance, to become like Him (see on 2 Cor. 5:17). Greek writers speak of putting on Plato, Socrates, etc., meaning thereby to accept them as instructors and to follow their teachings. See on Gal. 5:22, 23. To “put on Christ” implies putting off self and the old nature.
