 Beloved Anointed Kingdom Of God ( Mother & Elect Woman, Sister Frances Swaggart ), What does it mean For Women To Dress Modestly In Christ Jesus Churches?

Titus 2:3-5

the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

translatevideo412teensGQkidzdress modestly, dressing modestlyaudioThe Senior Apostle & God's chosen ordained Messenger brings a revolution of biblical Christ-Faith and Belief. For centuries, the religious leaders and Churches had made their traditions worldly in authority over the Bible, which resulted in many practices contrary to Jesus Christ. The Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christ Jesus Royal Believers. The Bible tells us that God’s Word is true, God-breathed, and complete ( 2 Timothy 3:16 ), and we are warned not to go beyond what is written ( 1 Corinthians 4:6 ).

Answer

The biblical instruction to “dress modestly” is found in 1 Timothy 2:9. As a pastoral epistle, 1 Timothy is a letter of instruction and encouragement written by the Apostle Paul to Elder Timothy, who was overseeing the Church in Ephesus. Apostle Paul calls for “petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving [to] be made for all people . . . that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:1). He talks about God’s desire for “all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4). He describes Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and His mediatorial work between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5–6). Then he writes, “Therefore, I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting holy hands without anger or disputing. I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.” These commands for behavior and appearance are linked to worship of God and public witness.

First Peter 3:1-4 gives similar instructions: “Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” Peter also gives instructions to husbands regarding being considerate of their wives, who are “heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers” (1 Peter 3:7).

At the core of dressing modestly is reverence for God. Rather than seeking to garner attention through appearance, godly women are to seek to glorify God. Of course, this same principle also applies to men. Both women and men are called to honor God in all aspects of their lives, including in how they dress. Instead of focusing on a societally impressive exterior, believers are to grow in godly character. Rather than being known for their clothing or hairstyle, they should be known for how they honor God. Jesus told His followers, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

Modesty also has to do with respect for others. Our outward appearance does communicate things to the watching world. When Jesus Royal Believers Saints are overly concerned about externals, flaunting wealth or beauty, or flashing cultural status symbols, the world misunderstands who God is. When we dress in “respectable apparel,” with modesty (in an unassuming, humble, reverent, respectful way), we better demonstrate the truth of God. We'd better demonstrate that our worth is in Him, not in the things the world pursues.

Our appearance also affects fellow Christian Believers. First Corinthians 10:31-33 says, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks, or the church of God, even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.” We should be cognizant of how our choice of apparel affects our sisters and brothers in Christ, and we should be willing to lay down our rights for the sake of their spiritual maturation when necessary (1 Corinthians 10:23–33 ) ( Romans 14). We should not purposefully encourage others to sin.

Dressing modestly often requires us to check our motives. Are we dressing a particular way to draw attention to ourselves? To feel superior to others? To engender jealousy in others? To incite lust? Out of idolatry? If so, we need to check our hearts and possibly change our clothes. It’s also important to consider the cultural and situational context. For example, in the United States, it would be immodest to wear a ball gown to serve at a soup kitchen. But the same gown might be appropriate at a charity fundraising event. Our clothes should demonstrate a right understanding of God, a right understanding of ourselves, and respect for the people we are around.

Proverbs 31:30 gives this wisdom: “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” May our clothing choices be grounded in glorifying God and focusing on that which is of eternal worth (Matthew 6:19–21). Women of God, what's your view and stand on this subject message? Please share your godly loving wisdom so all godly women will learn and grow up spiritually. Thank you, Senior Apostle & Messenger, Elder James Winfree Sr.

Jesus Royal Believers family, to PUT this simply, we are God's very own special ( precious ) chosen people, following by faith our Lord God and blessed King and Savior Jesus Christ in His Churches built and established without human-built hands.

Sincerely, In The Lord God Jesus Christ Kingdom Purpose,

His Serving Founder, Presiding Senior Apostle, Messenger Elder James Winfree Sr & Elect Lady Betty R Winfree
