INTRODUCTION: Ultimately, our clothing choices should reflect our desire to honor and glorify God in all that we do. Colossians 3: Whether we are dressing for worship, work, or everyday activities, our clothing should be a reflection of our identity as children of God and ambassadors of Christ. A Christian must always be dressed modesty (decently). Whether male or female, Jesus Christ must be revealed to your dressing. A decent dressing is one that conforms to standards of decency, avoiding obscenity, respectable, acceptable or good enough. How we dress our body is so much important to God. This is because we are the temple of God Cor. 13:16. If the body is God’s temple, his temple must be dressed appropriately to his standards. May the Holy Spirit teach us how to dress well in Jesus’ name.
