Modesty in Dressing...
The purpose of clothing is to cover our bodies and protect them from elements but that law have been re-defined by us.
Modesty deals with our body, spirit and soul... If we are modest, we do not need to draw unnecessary attention to ourselves instead we seek to glorify God in our body, mind, soul and spirit(1 Cor 6:20,1Cor 6:19.
" 1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
In our dressing, we should always ask ourselves this, would I feel comfortable with my appearance if I were in the Lord's presence and our honest answers will help make important changes in our dressing...Reasons why people dress
1. Yes, the major which is to be covered.2. Another is peer pressure, you want to dress because your friends say you should do so which leads us to the third reason.
3. To feel among, you want to feel like a big girl, you are on top of the world.... You want to feel like gbogbo biz girls either to gain more respect or attraction from men which is wrong.
4. To try new fashion styles, wear the latest.... Which is allowed, you know as ladies, we can always change our fashion styles But to the glory of Christ.
5. To show off... You are a rich girl, so you dress to show off and kill.... You can look good, really good but always remember your body is of Christ and not yours...
Now, the truth is that, our body is God's sacred creation, we should not useless it all in the name of fashion, we must respect our body as a gift from our greatest bae...
Through our dress and appearance, we can show how precious our body is to the Lord.
As the saying goes, our dressing expresses who we are, it sends a message, it influences and affect the way others act towards us.
Imagine a girl dressing half naked and speaking about Jesus, she won't be taken seriously even though our heart is more important but never forget that our body is the body of Christ and everything works together for good... If you are truly slaying in Christ, it should show, in your dressing, in your character, and also your behaviour. All these really matters.
Our body is also meant for that special someone which is Husby and that is when the necessary vows have been taken....
Come to think of it, if one really claims to be truly in Christ and wears revealing clothes, it is already a sin to God because you are not respecting him in Modesty and Decency.
Your body, mind and soul is important and you will even make others sin too especially the men because so many unchaste things will go through their minds like sex which leads to lust and violate the Lord's law.
So the man receives the message and sin and the lady is the convener of the message and also sins.
" Now we are saying purity, Purity is not only by being pure in heart, it carries our body along too".
It also means being able pure in all aspect.One calls herself a Christian and dresses like those in the club house where you see terrible dresses so please, what is the difference between the two.
If you are in Christ, it is not by saying it or convincing someone but by 'STANDING OUT FOR OUR GREATEST BAE".
Don't look at friends or the world
You can be fashion inclined without exposing our bodies.
There are nice dresses out there...
Please, Ladies Of Grace, let's all check our wardrobes and get rid of those dresses that don't Glorify our God....
Silvia. Allred said and I quote 'The way we dress demonstrates our understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ....
To wrap this up...
I end with this..... In everything we do, we should not forget our Darling, Heavenly sweetheart and Greatest BAE because we will give account to him on Judgement day...and another greatest virtue is Modesty that can attract God's favour and blessing........
God bless you all....
