The Issue Of Dressing Amongst Christian Women by lekzytaker(m): 9:04pm On Jul 19, 2020 |
The issue of dressing amongst Christian women Many people argue that God does not judge from the outside but from the heart. Well, that is true. You are not saved by dressing, works or looks. You are saved by grace. However, we should be very careful about how we handle the issue of dressing by the female gender. A woman was created from man. In fact, she is a man with a womb. But a woman is different from a man. Her body structure, her emotions and her body parts are very sensitive in nature. Your dressing as a woman does not condemn you, neither will your dressing hinder your relationship with God. Because God loves you, no matter what. However, the issue of dressing for the female gender is not a matter of the state of salvation, but the state of representation. But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1peter 2:9 If you are born again, you are chosen to represent the image of Christ on earth. To declare his virtues. Unfortunately, many of our sisters are not representing God's image to the world. You are supposed to be a peculiar person. A royal priesthood. Remember priests don't dress to open their body. And royalty is always modest in dressing. Take a clue from the queen of England, Queen Elizabeth. She never dresses to expose her body parts. She never wears trousers. Issue with Trousers Women were asked not to wear Trousers in the old testament. But we are under a new testament. No more under law but under grace. But the same new testament says in 1 Timothy 2:9, NLT: "And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes." Most trousers are usually tight in nature. It reveals the contours of a woman. And this can cause men to look and lust. Some may say it is not their fault that men are looking. But the truth is that most women wear those things with the mindset of flaunting their shape. You have to be very careful about your life. Verdict As a woman, men will always look at you no matter what. So make sure that when they look at you, your dressing displays virtue. You can be decently dressed and still look beautiful. If your focus is on dressing, attachment, fixing of long nails, wearing mini-skirt and tight Jean as a believer. Then you have a spiritual problem. You are carnally minded. You can't be spirit-filled and be worried about artificial nails and hairs all the time. Some Christian sisters fight their husband for money to buy human hair. Some sisters can stay in the saloon for hours fixing hair, but they cannot pray for one hour. No serious believer will allow her shape to be showing for men to lust after. Before you wear any dress, their is always a motive. You look yourself in the mirror with something in mind. Though I do not know who will make heaven or not. But I am sure that nothing unclean and immoral will enter heaven. So if your dressing exposes your body, that is immortality. Let us be guided. Do not let the devil cheat you and deny you of eternal rest because of the things of the world.they should be able to differentiate a Christian that is coming from the church from a girl that is coming from the club. You are supposed to be a peculiar person.

lekzytaker:Stop right there...Jesus never gave you the right to tell another how to dress, so stop. Jesus Christ told you that if Your eyes cause you to sin, pluck them out.... so, deal with you. |

lekzytaker:You obviously need to read that book, only this time make sure to abandon all that you have previously learned about God and the things of God from men(become like a Child as Jesus Christ commanded you). That way God Himself can open your eyes to His truth as opposed to the lies you have been schooled in about who He is and what He wants from you and of you. |
