Galatians 3:27
For. He now shows how their faith acted to bring them into Christ.
As Dr. Schaff says, "Faith always implies surrender". Faith leads to
obedience. The believer is
baptized into Christ, and being found in him has
put on Christ. Being in Christ, a member of his body, a part of
the Son, the believer becomes a child of God. Compare Romans 6:3 1Co 10:2
Matthew 28:19. Schaff, in loco, says:
``The baptized is surrounded by Christ and covered by his
merits. . . . The figure of putting on Christ as a new dress
afterwards gave rise to the custom of wearing white baptismal
garments.'
