The Bible says that being a Christian your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you and should be maintained as such.
“ ….. do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own for you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.” (1st Corinthian 6:19,20).
How do you glorify God In your body? If you desire to live a fruitful productive life for Jesus, whether you are male or female, you must consider how you dress your Temple.
The way you dress reflects who you are. The way you dress will be either modest or provocative. The way you dress reflects the company you keep. The way you dress reflects the thoughts you think. The way you dress may indicate your social life. The way you dress may reflect what you think of yourself.
The way you dress may also reflect your objective in life: to please the world or to please God. If your objective is to please the world you must dress to please the world. If your objective is to please God, you must dress to please God.
The Bible addresses this issue about being a good wife, but by extension these qualities also refer to the character and dress of any man who seeks to please God.
“Do not let your adorning be external, the braiding of hair and putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear; but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious” (1 Peter 3,4).
There are believers today who dress like a culture in order to reach that culture for Jesus. This is highly commendable, and we should not sit in judgment. As children of God, we all have the privilege of choice as affirmed in Romans 14: 12,13.
“So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore, let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.”
Maintain and dress your temple today for the glory of God and enjoy his goodness. If you have questions, please contact me or your pastor.
