Why Outward Appearance Is So Important For Christians by ebubeson: 8:44am On Apr 23, 2023 |
The bible says "Man looks at the outward appearance, but God sees the heart". For this, since man naturally does not have the right or access to see the heart, you owe man decent dressing, so that from your dressing, he can probably believe or probably accept the God that sees your heart. If we dress like mad people or like prostitutes, how do we expect those in public to believe in the God that sees your heart?. Our Christianity is not a selfish Christianity for our hearts alone, but a Christianity that Glorifies God in our heart and in our outward appearance.. The Bible says "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven". Let your light shine with decent and beautiful dressing that will make men appreciate the God that sees your heart. 41 Likes 5 Shares |

Decent dressing is everything. Only irresponsible people disregard decency on the alter of fashion. The way we dress sends a strong message about who we are. If you think the way you dress doesn't matter, then you are delusional. The saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" has been badly misinterpreted and misunderstood. That saying is to the effect that a thing or a person may be worth more than the little reflection thereof on the outside. It does not say a thing or a person should worth more than the OPPOSITE of what the reflect. So, if you reflect irresponsibility and indecency through your dressing, it means you are actually more rotten and extremely irresponsible than the little that your dressing reflects. 37 Likes 1 Share |

Why christians care so much about their fitted shirts, ironed trousers and polished shoes will continue to amaze me? Take a look at the pastors. Some of them wear the most expensive items like wristwatches, chains, etc. You start to wonder if these people really represent Christ who preached more modest forms of expressions. In his day, kings dressed in glorious robes and golden attires, but Jesus himself (at least according the Bible) only wore what many commoners wore. Today, you see pastors dressed more or less like presidents and company CEOs. Most of them have left Jesus in the wake with their colorful and expensive attires, while their church members can barely afford three-square meals. At a point, you start to wonder if we shouldn't all be scared of this pastors and their teachings. The same way Obedients view Babablu supporters as perpetrators of evil since they are colluding to bring to power a destructive element which doesn't have Nigeria's interests at heart, should we not start regarding these so-called Christians who spread the teachings of these evil pastors (e.g. COZA pastor, pastor jerrycurl chris, pastor witch-slapping oyedepo) as perpetrators of the greatest evils? I have to ask! 6 Likes |

As a Christian, just know that your outward appearance and character matters alot.... Human don't know ur intention, they only know your action.. Especially for people that are looking onto you and their hope is renewed knowing they have a Christian around them 9 Likes 1 Share |

Those who say your outward appearance doesn't matter are deceving themselves. There's a reason why even earthly royals don't dress anyhow. Anyway all these fake christainity that is watering down modest dressing with misinterpretation of scripture will lead a lot of people to hell. Christains deceiving themselves. 4 Likes |

It's bad to see Christians these days dressing anyhow. You go to churches and see the dressing of the ladies, then you will be wondering if you are in a club or brothel. Our ladies need particularly need serious orientation on the need to always dress decently. 2 Likes |

Stop dressing like the prostitute you are to the church so that Ogun will not kill you at the gate of the church because even Ogun himself does not dress in his Ogun attire to the church. Arabs, Persians, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba girls also prostitute just like ever tribe on earth does, but they will not wear their prostitute attires to the mosque. The God that is Merciful today has destroyed several stubborn generations in the past, don’t let HIM change HIS mind about this generation of wayward youths. HE can still kill en mass. HE can still destroy en mass. Don’t be unfortunate oooo. |
