The Apostle Paul is urging us in Romans 13:1-14 to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. This command is not a suggestion to abandon our human nature, but a warning against falling into the pitfalls of the world. It is a reminder that we should not squander our time or resources on idle speculations, rash engagements, and useless expenses. We should put our trust in the Lord, and in Him we will find the wisdom and knowledge to face life’s challenges.
