For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
The phrase "put on" is the Greek word enduo which has the idea of sinking into something...it becomes like your skin and you can't take it off. You are in it and it is in you. You are it and it is you.
Colossians 1:27 NKJV
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Christ in you is the hope of glory. Christ in you is the hope of the glory of God being manifest in the earth. Christ in you is the hope of you not being the old man you always were, but being a new species, a new race with His DNA and His blood in your veins that is ever evolving more and more into His image and likeness. A race throbbing with the eternal life of God.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
This new life is almost unimaginable. It is one life with Him...in Him. It's His life in you and through you. This life will become so much a part of you that you won't even remember who you were or how you are "supposed" to live. But it will be natural to do the works of Jesus and do the will of the Father.
