Even though worship is not a 'dress parade', many times we become too sloppy and revealing in the way we dress for worship. Our clothes do contribute to the emphasis we place on worship to God. This does not mean we are strictly to wear fine clothes. But the way we dress should be in keeping with the dignity of the occasion. Read 1 Tim. 2:9-10. Modest clothing is the way women who are professing godliness dress. The wearing of lewd and revealing clothing to worship God is unthinkable,but some do it anyway.
A woman who wears clothing that exposes herself to men is contributing to their sin of lust. (Matt. 5:28) . She becomes guilty of contributing to his sin of adultery so she also becomes guilty. In our actions as well as the clothing we wear 1 Thess 5:22 says 'abstain from all appearance of evil'. Some think they have to follow the style and fashion of the world, regardless of how short and revealing clothing gets. But we are told in Rom 12:2 'and do not be conformed to this world..'. Why? Because this world is going to be lost and if we conform to it, we will also be lost. Would you go to your parent's funeral with a sloppy or revealing clothe? Check Matt. 18:20.
How should we dress to show respect for someone much greater than our parents, when we appear in the presence of our Lord to remember the death of our savior and to honor and worship God? He is the one who has made us and who will determine our future in eternity. Our dress should show a moderate opinion of our own value. Our dress should be pure, proper and decent. It should not call attention to ourselves because it is showy or lewd. When we worship we are actually in the presence of our father, who deserves our very best. (Rom 12:1).
Do you think God is pleased with us when we wear 'those things' as we present our bodies as a living sacrifice in worship? Someone should tell that lady for me! I dont mean you, but that your friend. (Guess i wasnt too hard? Nevermind,it still needs to be said 'some ladies are really causing trouble to some brethren). Bless you.
