When a person goes for a job interview, it would be wise to dress for success. First impressions are often made by the appearance of the applicant. A  person's  attitude and how they feel about themselves is often revealed by the visual aspect. The Bible mentions spiritual garments for the  Christian .

The Bible is the Word of God speaking to you. “Thus saith the Lord” is repeated over two thousand times from Exodus to Deuteronomy. God and His Word are one.

Jesus is called the Logos. Jesus is the Logos, and the Logos is a living thing - - not only in the book, not only on the written page, - - but also on the lips of the believer.
