Wherefore THE LAW was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,

that we might be justified by THE faith. Gal 3:24

But after that (THE) faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (THE LAW). Gal 3:25

WHAT? FOR ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:26
HOW?     FOR as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:27

       G1746 enduō en-doo'-o From G1722 and G1416 (in the senese of sinking into a garment);
       to invest with clothing (literally or figuratively):—array, clothe (with), endue, have (put) on.

ABRAHAM was justified BY faith each and every time he OBEYED whatever he was asked to do.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28

Those who RECEIVE the promise do what caused God to MAKE the promise.
And if ye be Christs, then are ye Abrahams seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal 3:29

That probably happens as in Romans 6 where we are baptized into Christ and then free from sin. However, we have reckon ourselves that way:

Rom. 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand:
      let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
      and let us put on the armour of light

Rom. 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day;
       not in rioting and drunkenness,
       not in chambering and wantonness,
       not in strife and envying.

Rom. 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
       and make not provision for the flesh,
       to fulfil the lusts thereof

2Cor. 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God,
      by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

Eph. 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God,
     that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
        but against principalities, against powers,
        against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
        against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Pale (g3823) pal'-ay; from pallo, (to vibrate; another form for 906); wrestling: - / wrestle

Pallô, poise, sway a missile before it is thrown, sway, brandish, she drove it furiously, tripped on the shield-rim, quiver, leap, esp. in fear, II. Pass., swing, dash oneself, Pi.N.5.21; vibrate, of strings, Pl.Phd.94c (psalloito ap. Stob.);  leap, bound, quiver, quake, phrena deimati pallôn .
 
Eph. 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
        that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph. 6:14 Stand therefore,
        having your loins girt about with truth,
        and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph. 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph. 6:16 Above all,
        taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation,
        and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

It's kinda like putting on an "Edgar" suit. MIB

   I must be tired, but that one cracked me up!

Bill,

Have you noticed Peterson's translation of Rom. 13?



Looks to me that "putting on Christ" has a lot to do with our attitude and perspective about what's important and how that affects the way we live.


Also helpful;

Eph. 4:20-24

and Col. 3:9-14


I hope that helps.

Just how would one put Christ on in baptism?

once you haveread and been taught the word fo God

next is to live by every word of Jesus

Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

If we truly love God, then we will obey "Every word" that proceeds out of his mouth (Matthew 4:4). Baptism is one of those words. In order to be baptized, certain events must take place: You must give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according to 1 John 3:4, is the transgression (breaking) of the law. You must be taught "The Word", before you can adhere to God's commandments (judgments\statues). These laws are found in the Holy Bible; beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation. You must believe what the bible says and finally, you must confess that Jesus is Lord. Once this has been accomplished, you are qualified to be baptized in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38).
