Gill's Exposition on Galatians 3:27

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ,.... Not that it is to be imagined that these churches of Galatia, or any of the primitive churches, consisted of baptized and unbaptized persons;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Galatians 3:27

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Baptized into (into living incorporation with) Christ (Romans 6:3; Matthew 28:19 : Greek, 'INTO the name').

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Galatians 3:27

Baptized into Christ, may either be understood of receiving the sacrament of baptism; which who receiveth, is not only baptized in the name of Christ, and into the profession of Christ; but is sacramentally, or in a sign, baptized into Christ; or else (which, considering what followeth, seemeth much more probably the sense) it may signify a being not only baptized with water, but with the Holy Ghost and fire. Of those thus baptized, he saith, that they had put on Christ; they had accepted of and received Christ for their justification, and for their sanctification. We have the like phrase, .

Trapp's Commentary on Galatians 3:27

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Ver. 27. Baptized into Christ] And so have had your adoption sealed up unto you, like as in the civil adoption there were certain rites and ceremonies usually performed. Have put on Christ] To justification and sanctification. This is to be clothed with the sun, Revelation 12:2. Some think the apostle alludeth here to a custom they had in the primitive times, that those that were to be baptized should come to the church on Whit Sunday (called therefore Dominica in albis) and put upon them white clothing.

Ellicott's Commentary on Galatians 3:27

(27) For.—This introduces the reason why the Christian stands to God in the relation of an adult son. He is so by virtue of his relation to Christ. Baptized into Christ.—To be baptised “into Christ” is something more than merely “to be baptised in the name of Christ.” It implies the contracting of a very close and intimate relation, the nature of which is expressed in the phrase which follows. Have put on Christ.—The metaphor has been thought to be taken from the putting on of the white baptismal robes. It is, however, commonly used in the LXX., where it means “to adopt” or “cake to oneself.” The Christian, at his baptism, thus “took to himself” Christ, and sought to grow into full unison and union with Him.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Galatians 3:27

Verse 27. As many of you as have been baptized into Christ] All of you who have believed in Christ as the promised Messiah, and received baptism as a public proof that ye had received Christ as your Lord and Saviour, have put on Christ-have received his Spirit, and entered into his interests, and copied his manners. To put on, or to be clothed with one, is to assume the person and character of that one; and they who do so are bound to act his part, and to sustain the character which they have assumed. The profession of Christianity is an assumption of the character of Christ; he has left us an example that we should follow his steps, and we should, as Christians, have that mind in us which was in him. See the notes on Romans 6:3; Romans 6:4; and especially those on "Romans 13:14", where this phrase is farther explained.

Cambridge Bible on Galatians 3:27

27. The connexion seems to be, ‘I say, it is by faith in Christ, that you are sons of God—a faith professed in your Baptism, by which you put on Christ. In Him all the old distinctions of race, condition and sex disappear, so far as the inheritance of the promise is concerned’.The doctrine of Holy Baptism, as taught in this verse, has been the subject of discussion among expositors, some affirming that every person does in Baptism put on Christ, others denying that the Apostle is referring to the rite of Baptism. But surely neither of these inferences is warranted by the context. He is addressing those who by faith in Christ are sons of God. The ‘all’ of Galatians 3:26, and the ‘as many of you’ of this verse, have reference to those distinctions which were done away in Christ.have put on Christ] This and the preceding verb are aorists, and should be rendered, were baptized, put on Christ. The two acts were definite and contemporaneous.The metaphor may be taken from the white robe in which persons were clothed after submitting to the rite of Baptism. But St Paul uses the expression to denote a change of character, by which the person appears under a new aspect. ‘If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, they have become new,’ 2 Corinthians 6:17. The verb is of frequent occurrence in his writings, and its full force can be best understood from a comparison of those passages. Thus the things assumed or put on are, ‘the armour (or weapons) of light,’ Romans 13:12. ‘The Lord Jesus Christ,’ Romans 13:14. ‘Immortality,’ 1 Corinthians 15:53-54. ‘The new man,’ Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10. ‘The whole armour of God,’ Ephesians 6:11 (cf. Galatians 3:14 and 1 Thessalonians 5:8). ‘Bowels of compassion, goodness, humility, gentleness, long-suffering)’ Colossians 3:12. In Luke 24:49 it is rendered ‘endued’. It is to be noted that in each of the offices for Holy Baptism there is a prayer that ‘those dedicated’ to God by the office and ministry of His Church ‘may be endued with heavenly virtues’.

Barnes' Notes on Galatians 3:27

For as many of you - Whether by nature Jews or Gentiles. As have been baptized into Christ - Or “unto” (εἰς eis) - the same preposition which in Galatians 3:24 is rendered unto) Christ.

Whedon's Commentary on Galatians 3:27

27. Baptized into Christ—As the external form and act of the internal faith of the last verse. We may be baptized; but it is the faith which makes it really and truly a baptism into Christ.
