“The
woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall
a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination
unto the LORD thy God.” This verse -- Deuteronomy 22:5 --
What
is being modest? Is modest to you wearing only skirts, no pants?
What
do you first think when you see a woman wearing dresses or skirts all
the time? She must be Pentecostal, she must be in a cult, legalistic,
a religion belief. Anything can run through your mind. Can pants be
modest for a Christian and the answer is yes they can. As long as
they don’t cling to your body or show your appeal. God has made
men and women to be different so why not show that we are women.
Here
is something I thought was appropriate, how to decide if you are dressed modest…
“Four
Guidelines for Modesty”
- If you have trouble getting into it or out of it, it is probably not modest.
- If you have to be careful when you sit down or bend over, it is probably not modest.
- If people look at any part of your body before looking at your face, it is probably not modest.
- If you can see your most private body parts or an outline of those parts under the fabric, it is probably not modest.
-Michael
Hyatt
Dressing
modesty helps me live out my biblical principles for me and my
family, we believe this to be true for us to embrace who God has made
us as women. Wearing skirts and dresses is a daily reminder to us
that we are ladies and not tough boys. I want to show my femininity. What glorifies God, is being lovely, modest, and have a feminine
spirit. Being Christian is
what is on the outside that should be consistent with what is on the
inside. The heart is the issue not your clothes. Christians should not “follow the crowd.” I don’t need
the world telling me how to dress.
“Jesus
said, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart." This Verse --Matthew 5:28--
