Matthew 6:25-34 New International Version (NIV) “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. If you come across a bird's nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.
The great sin of immodesty is that we're saying, “look at me” instead of “look at God.” God's Word instructs us to dress modestly, in part, so that what we're wearing on our hearts remains visible because it is of greater worth than those awesome new flared jeans! So, yes. God does care what you wear on your body.
Matthew 6:28-34 NKJV
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Two of these are laws: the first seen in Leviticus 13:45 states that persons who have leprous disease shall wear torn clothes and dishevelled hair. The second (Lv 21:10) is a law forbidding hākkōhēn hāggādôl 'the high priest' to tear his vestments and dishevel his hair because of his status among the people.
In 1 Timothy 2:9-10, Paul says, "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." He goes on to say in verse 11 that a woman's adornment should be "not with outward ...
Most Christians, especially Catholics, believe that using condoms is a sin since it opposes the command of God to procreate. However, there is no mention of condoms in the Bible saying it is right or wrong.
Looking through magazines or on the internet can help give you an idea of what kinds of clothes you would feel good about wearing. Feeling put together and professional can give you a big boost of confidence and self-assurance that you maybe wouldn't expect.
Matthew 6:34
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” The Good News: Don't let worries about the future overwhelm you; turn to the Lord for support in the present.
Vestiphobia is a fear of clothing. For many people, this manifests as a fear of a specific garment. For others, it might come from a fear of tight-fitting clothing that causes one to feel constrained. In other cases, it is a fear of all clothing.
Some Christian holy days incorporate traditional clothing, such as the Easter bonnet. Christians' clothing has, however, evolved over time. In recent decades, some churches have encouraged a more informal dress code. Among the first to adopt this policy were the Calvary Chapel associated churches.
There is no verse that says “Ladies, no crop tops, and guys, no tank tops.” The Bible gets at the more important issue and expects us to use discernment in working this out. When our hearts are set on worshiping God, we will welcome both the man with the gold ring and the man with the tattered clothes (James 2:2-4).
We are indeed commanded to dress up. There are examples of those commands being fulfilled by priests and non-priests; Jews and Gentiles. Dressing up shows respect for God and worship as we publicly covenant with Him.
Psalms 22:18 in Other Translations
18 They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing. 18 They take my wallet and the shirt off my back, and then throw dice for my clothes. 18 They divided my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing.
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered." In his explication of Saint Paul's command in 1 Corinthians 11:10, the Church Father Irenaeus ( c. 130 – c.
So, when God clothes us, we are covered. When you put your faith in the Lord's Jesus, you come to God God's way and He covers you, clothes you. He covers your sins. The text says, “He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation.”
Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Matthew 6:34
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes it clear he doesn't want us to worry. In fact, he tells us so five times in Matthew 6:25-34: “Do not worry about your life” (v. 25). “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (v.
The researchers look less at how our clothes make others perceive us but instead at how our clothes make us think about ourselves and behave at work. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that when we feel good about how we look, we perform better in our work.
What you wear shows people how you view yourself, and it's the first thing anyone notices when you step into a room. You might think you're showing your dedication to your work by not caring about your clothing, but what you're actually showing is you don't take it or yourself seriously.
Some Christians believe that the wearing of a cross offers protection from evil, while others, Christian and non-Christian, wear cross necklaces as a fashion accessory.
Our Bodies Are Temples of God
Our bodies are so important that the Lord calls them temples of God (see 1 Corinthians 3:16–17; 6:19–20). Our bodies are holy. Because our bodies are important, our Father in Heaven wants us to take good care of them. He knows that we can be happier, better people if we are healthy.
There is nothing in the Bible against the use of condoms or contraception in general. What is not condoned is abortion since life is sacred. So a Christian would use a method of contraception that stops the conception rather that one that kills life after it has been conceived.
