God never clothes men until He has first stripped them, nor does He quicken them by the gospel till first they are slain by the Law. When you meet with persons in whom there is no trace of conviction of sin, you may be quite sure that they have not been wrought upon by the Holy Spirit; for 'when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.'" CHARLES SPURGEON
If you have been working in the yard all day in a the hot sun you will be dirty. Your clothes will probably smell and feel nasty. Would you go put on new cloths over your old ones before you go to out on the town. I would say no.
When we are saved by Christ he will strip us of our unrighteousness and clothes use with His righteousness. We first must be cleaned of our filth or the smallest amount of sin will show it's ugly head once again. Christ will clean you of anything but you must go to Him in repentance and put ALL your trust in Him.
God Bless,
