A45701	The Christians best garment: or, The putting on of the Lord Jesus Christ Wherein the absolute necessity, excellency, and usefulness of Christ, as a garment, to believing souls, is briefly open and applied. Secondly, the naked, miserable, lost, and undone condition of all unbelievers, who have not put on this garment, discovered. Thirdly and lastly, some few brief, but powerful motives to perswade us to the putting on of this garment, with directions how to live to the glory of Christ here, that so we may live with Christ hereafter in glory. By a godly, able, and faithful servant of Jesus Christ.	Hart, John, D.D.	1664 (1664)	Wing H930; ESTC R216385	16,154	50

sin do manifestly shew that they never yet tasted of the love of God in Christ in the pardoning of their sins Christ is not a cloak to hide sin but Christ is a garment to preserve us from sin they that put on Christ as a cloak never yet put on Christ as a garment Fourthly is Christ a garment and hast thou put him on then wear him constantly never put him off he will last thee as long as thou livest I and longer too thou canst not carry a rag of thine own clothes with thee out of this world I but thou mayest carry this garment with thee into the next world thou mayest go to heaven with this garment upon thee nay thou shalt never get to heaven without it put him on then and never put him off wear him every day day by 〈◊〉 even to thy dying day he will last thee as long as thou livest and will be a comfort yea an exceeding great comfort to thee when thou dyest and will be a glory an everlasting glory to thee for ever in the world to come Fifthly is it so is Christ a garment then here is matter of comfort to all that are Christs in times of danger and trouble let we tell thee Christian thou that hast put on the Lord Iesus Christ as a garment thou art armed as well as cloathed thou hast armour of proof upon thy back such armour as never yet could be pierced such armour as will keep off all the gun-hots of the Devil and the world be they never so great be they never so furious be they never so many thy garment Christian will keep out a showre I and a storm too nothing can pierce it nothing shall be able to hurt thee if thou hast put on Christ neither sin nor Satan If God be for us who can be against us Rom. 8.33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect it is Christ that hath dyed First thou hast put on Christ as a garment he will defend thee I le warrant thee let come what will come see what the Lord saith to such as are clothed with his Son in Isa 47.1 2. Fear not for I have redeeemed thee I have called thee by thy name thou art mine When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burnt neither shall the flame kindle upon thee And this was it which so ravished the hearts of the blessed Martyrs and carried them through all their torments with so much joy and comfort and so likewise the three Children in the fiery furnace all the violent and scorching heats of those burning fiery furnaces could not nay did not hurt so much as the least hair of their heads and the reason was because they were the Children of the most high God and were cloathed with the Lord Iesus Christ as with a garment So likewise Daniel in the Lions Den he was defended from the fury of those raging beasts by his being clothed with this garment of Christ In a word let come what will come let the Devil and all his instruments rage never so much let the storms of persecution be never so hot let the waves beat never so fiercely thy house shall stand and thou shalt be carried through all because thy house thy faith is built upon a Rock even upon the reck of Ages the Lord Iesus Christ Men out of Christ are naked they have nothing at all to defend them all those rich and costly garments of the gallants of the world be they never so rich and gaudy are not half so costly as this garment is for believe it Christian it cost Christs precious Life and Blood to purchase it for thee Sixthly is Christ a garment then let us not be proud of our own garments alas what are they nothing but rags in comparison of this garment of Christ bodies of sin sin was the first founder and inventer of theme if Adam had not sinned he had never stood in nerd of a garment A thief saith on very swertly may as well be proud of his halter as a man or woman may be proud of their garments and set me tell thee thou that art proud thou art proud of that which is anothers it is none of thy own thou hast nothing of thy own to be proud with what thou hast is but lent thee and thou knowest not how soon the owner may take them away and leave thee as naked as he found thee and then if thou art found out of Christ thou art undone for ever I Woe woe be unto thee and that for evermore Seventhly is Christ a garment then I note from hence that abundance of outward enjoyments do nothing at all adorn a man it s onely the garment of Christ that will make a Christian lovely earthly things they do not adorn us in the sight of God it matters not whether we be rich or poor naked or cloathed in rags or in robes I but it matters whether thou beest in Christ or no God will look upon thee onely as thou art cloathed with his Son if thou art not found in Christ cloathed upon with the glorious white robes of his righteousness at the last day God will never own thee for his child he will then say unto thee Depart from me I know you not Eightly I note from hence that they that live in sin are none of Christs they are not cloathed upon with this garment Let every one saith the Apostle that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity Put on the Lord Jesus Christ saith the Lert and make no provision for the flesh Christianity and sin are no kin one to another sin is a work of the night and if ever thou wouldst put on the Lord Iesus Christ thou must cast off and forsake all thy sins but if thou wilt needs keep thy sorry rags of sin still upon thy back let me tell thee Christ will never be a Saviour unto thee thou shalt have nothing to defend thee in the evil day of the Lords wrath In the last place by way of motive O that I could persivade you this day to embrace Iesus Christ as he is tendered and offered unto you in the Gospel wouldst thou put on the Lord Iesus Christ as a garment then in the words of the Apostle I beseech you Cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light Walk honestly as in the day not in rioting and drunkenness and do not commit works of darkness at noon-day even the light of nature should make men blush to commit sin in the very face of the Sun it self Remember I beseech you how unsuitable and unseasonable rioting and drunkenness is to the profession of the Gospel of Christ Let every one saith the Apostle that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity Christ will never be a garment to thee if thou delightest in sin its impossible to serve God and Mammon thou canst never wear the livery of Christ add the livery of Satan together as holiness is the badge and livery of Christ so sin and wickedness is the badge and Livery of the Devil in this the Children of God are manifest saith the Apostle and the children of the Devil Whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God John 1.3 10. and in the 6 7 8. verses of the same Chapter Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not and whosoever sinneth hath not seen him nor known him He that committeth sin is of the Devil Ye are of your Father the Devil saith our Saviour to the unbelieving Jews John 8.44 and the works of your father ye will do wicked men will do the Devils work although they are sure to dye for it The work of your father ye will do And let me tell you beloved they that will do the Devils work must look for nothing but the Devils pay and the Devill will be sure to give them their due at the last And I beséech you remember what the wages of sin is in Romans 6.23 The wages of sin is death death eternal the wicked in hell they are alwayes dying and yet never dead the torments of the damned in hell as they are easeless so they are endless O consider this you that forget God lest he tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver you Wouldst thou put on the Lord Iesus Christ as a garment then in the last place and so I have done Do not make provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof spend not thy time in rioting and drunkenness not in chambering and wantonness but casting off and abhorting all these unfruitful works of darkness Labour to live up to that God who has so dearly loved us and bought us with his own most precious blood that so living here to all the intents and purposes of his Grace and walking daily before the Lord in all manner of holiness and righteousness all thy dayes thou mayest in the end of thy dayes here live and reign for ever with Christ in glory hereafter Now blessed are all those and for ever blessed shall they be who so live and so walk as that they may be truly said to have put on the Lord Iesus Christ and do so give up themselves to be ruled and guided by him in Grace here that so when they come to dye they shall be found in Christ cloathed upon with the glorious white Robes of Christ his righteousness and shall for ever live and reign with Christ in Glory hereafter to whom be Glory and Honour for ever and ever Amen FINIS Courteous Reader These godly Books are printed for Eliz.
