CHILD-FRIENDLY ACCEPTABLE APPAREL!
1 Timothy 2:9 – “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.”
Does God Care About What We
Wear?
Yes! God cares about how we
dress because it shows what’s in our hearts. The Bible doesn’t give us a list
of clothes to wear, but it teaches us to dress in a way that is modest,
respectful, and honours God.
What Is Modesty?
Modesty means:
- Not showing too much of
your body
- Not dressing to get the
wrong kind of attention
- Choosing clothes that are
neat, clean, and respectful
God wants us to shine from
the inside out—not just look good on the outside. What matters most is a kind
heart, a gentle spirit, and a love for Jesus.
What the Bible Says:
- 1 Peter 3:3–4 – Don’t
focus only on fancy clothes or jewellery. Instead, let your beauty come from
your heart.
- Genesis 3:7 – When Adam
and Eve sinned, they realized they were naked and covered themselves. Clothes
help us stay respectful and covered.
- Proverbs 31:25 – “She is
clothed with strength and dignity.” That means we should wear clothes that show
we are strong, wise, and respectful.
Why Does It Matter?
- The way we dress shows
others who we are.
- As children of God, we
want to dress in a way that honours Him.
- We don’t want to copy the
world’s idea of fashion if it goes against God’s ways.
- People should be able to
tell we love Jesus—even by how we dress!
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Timothy 2:9
“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.”
REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR
KIDS:
- What does dressing
modestly mean to me?
- Do my clothes show that I
love and respect God?
- Would someone know I’m a
Christian by how I dress?
- How can I be a good
example to others with my clothing choices?
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly
Father, thank You for making me in Your image. Help me to dress in a way that
shows I belong to You. Teach me to make good choices about what I wear. Let my
clothes and my heart show Your love, kindness, and truth. Help me to be a good
example to others, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
