GUIDING PRINCIPLES ON CHRISTIAN DRESSING 
TEXT:  MATTHEW 5:14-16
Key verse:  “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of 
God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

The Bible does not list the kind of dresses, fashions and designs a believer should adopt. However, it presents guiding principles for Christian dressing, which include the following:
· The dress must cover the body to avoid being a stumbling block to others (1Timothy 2:9).
· Avoid worldly fashions and designs aimed at corrupting the society (James 4:4).
· A woman must not put on a man's dress; neither should a man put on a  woman dress (Deuteronomy 22:5). Trousers are strictly for men any form of trouser by whatever name it is called is forbidden for women. 
· Christian virtues of meekness, gentleness, humility, temperance, goodness and modesty must be seen in the believer's comportment.  Avoid flamboyance in dressing (1Timothy 2:10, 2Peter 1:5-8, 3:1-6  and Galatians 5:22-23).
· The believer must be an example to other believers in his or her clothing (1Timothy 4:12).
· He or she must not dress for show-off (Galatians 5:26).
· Projecting the glory of God must be the sole aim in bodily clothing (1Corinthians 10:31).

Believers have the liberty to use as many designs or styles of clothing as they desire, as long as they do not transgress scriptural principles. Some churches prohibit their members from using some clothes. Some of these prohibitions are the traditions of such churches and have no scriptural backing. We must not condemn anyone for what he or she puts on which does not transgress against the law of decency, nor violate the scripture. What you don't want to put on, another person wants to and he is not sinning against God for doing so.

Thought for the day: Divine revelation messages are for the good of mankind.
Song for the day: All glory glory glory to the Lord...
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 31-32; Titus 2

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
