Putting on Christ is not just one job that Christians have, it is the one job that Christians have.

It's not something only a special class of Christians do, it's what Christianity is all about.
This is completely different from any other idea of 'morality' or 'being good.'

The ordinary idea for young Christians, or non-Christians is

We start with ourselves
We admit that there 'morality' or 'decent behavior' or 'the good of society' has some claim on our lives
Those claims interfere with our own desires
We try to do all of the 'right' things and not do all of the 'wrong' things and have something of ourselves left over to pursue our own interests.
Lewis likens it to paying taxes, and hoping we have something left over to live on.
