Why modest clothing is important to me?

Guest Blogger Christine Turner

Modest clothing is important to me because I strive to be a virtuous woman of God. In Proverbs 31, God clearly illustrates the characteristics of a virtuous woman. A virtuous woman knows that her body is not her own, but it is the Lord’s. Her body is made holy and acceptable to God in order to be a temple for God to dwell in. 1st Corinthians 6:19-20 reads, “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” This scripture lets us know that God wants us to be Holy. Holiness and modesty are like a two for one deal. Your inner woman must be purified before one can expect the outward appearance to be made right.

In regards to clothing, the Lord let’s women know exactly what to do in 1Timothy 2:9-10 “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.” God tells us to take pride in adorning ourselves in modesty. His will is not for us to walk around shameful, but to have confidence in Him. As holy women of God we set the example and through this we can spreadgodliness throughout the world by teaching other women the beauty of holiness.
