How to Dress as a Christian Woman

Girl! We have a lot to cover today!

In the episode, we are talking all about modesty, what does the bible say about how we should dress, and more importantly, how we as Christian women should dress?

This topic came about when someone on Instagram criticized my outfit by implying that what I had on was inappropriate by referencing the scripture 1 timothy 2:9-10.

As someone who dresses pretty modestly, I really wanted to debunk the myth that Christian women should not dress glamorously.

Go ahead and hit that play button because we have A LOT to cover!

How to Dress as Christian Women | What does the Bible say about Modesty?

[GodisGlamorous]

Hey Gorgeous Lady! Today we are talking all about how to dress fashionably and flawlessly as a Christian Woman! We can still be beautiful and Christian!

[samaashleigh]

I think that we should represent our faith either way regardless of being in church or not

[shielayazzie]

The Holy Spirit will definitely let us know if we are wearing an inappropriate clothing…He will convict and let us know.

‘My wife says it best. If your clothes are a frame for your face, it’s beauty. But if it’s a frame for your body, it’s sensuality.’ - Paul Washer

[Boskn]

Decency in dressing is what the bible is talking about and not the fashion aspect.

You're right about one thing. You can make the Bible say whatever you want it to say. I used to make similar arguments as you would because my spirit loved seeing pleasures of sexy, cute, beautiful ladies, to gratify myself. This selfish nature is wrong. One spirit wants to take the clothes off and get a feeling of excitement by showing off, while another desires repentance of self that Christ might be glorified. Jesus could have showed off, but instead He came to earth in a manger. He could have been glamourous as the King of Kings, and many Jewish people expected Him to come glamorously, but He didn't. The Bible says there was no beauty that we should desire Him. Be careful next time you pray to be like Jesus for there was no reason to like Him for beauty. John said, I must decrease that He might increase. We should do the same. When earth's lights are shining so bright, it's so hard to see the stars in heaven let alone the bright and morning star. How will people see the star of David, when there's so much light pollution of earthly bodies. Yes, in the last days, God's people will shine. But God's Kingdom is within people. Satan's Kingdom is without. The Pharisees were the one's with the glamourous robes and garments but not Jesus and His fishermen disciples. Cain was the one who offered a beautiful sacrifice and was rejected. Able offered a bloody lamb. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
2 Corinthians 4:18

Desiring such temporal things such as beauty the Bible says is vain. Beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord shall be praised.
This Idolization is against the first commandment. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." The spirit of the world is pulling women to shine their bodies, the other spirit is pulling women to shine Jesus in word and deed from their hearts. "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Ephesians 5:8
Seeing a beautiful woman's body is wow, there's no argument about her body's sexiness for she can bring down many mighty men. "And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart." "For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her." It would make you sick to see what men think and do to themselves looking at women. It wouldn't be a temptation if it wasn't tempting. It's highly tempting. It's powerful to control men. It may please the whole church, and the whole church could be given over to lasciviousness. We might selfishly like near nakedness to enjoy it's pleasures for a season. But this vanity can not satisfy. I could look and look and stare, and desire more flesh to look at, and want to show off more and more and get other people to show off more and more, but it leaves people in depression because it's vain. The beauty of a Godly woman is her spirit. God's Holy Spirit really does satisfy till you'll have no need for the fleshly things of sexy, cute showy clothes. You'll stop thinking such a vain thing is worth elevating and glamorizing, and idolizing. Instead, you'll cover decently so that the focus is drawn to a Godly spirit, to Godly wisdom, to Godly humility, to Godly charity. By hiding the outward, the inward can shine, but if the outward shines, then the crowed will come to see the outward, and not the inward wisdom that is so often despised. "Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard." Ecclesiastes 9:16
God help us all

It is wrong to say that verse is referring to church dressing. Being a Christian does not end in church, but actually starts when you leave the church.
Your dressing should reflect modesty everywhere.
Thanks!

[ELOHIMenkathy]

Inside or outside the church, a woman must be modest.

[awakenrae]

I am a baby Christian and this is really helpful.Christians can be the most judgmental people who are supposed to be your brothers and sisters, but I have seen that they are the ones that fight among each other over little things instead of coming together and lifting each other up. We better wake up y'all and come together instead of putting other Christians down. It's sickening. I love clothing and this is definitely something I have been judged for by other sisters.

[teddypgray]

For your second point, the church is the people; the body of Christ, therefore, if you should dress a certain way for church then you should dress that way all of the time become you are always in church because you ARE the church. Also, in the bible the women of God all dress pretty much the same, so there's nowhere that dressing fashionable appears in the bible.

[viajandoporelmundo]

You look like a nice woman who is getting to know God. I feel your not ready to teach yet because you still have. A lot to learn. But do not give up, people can be mean. Pray to god every time you have a question he will answer to you.
When you dress you have to ask... I am dress pretty or lustful? Would i be able to wear this in church? Can you see anything? Am i fully dressed-with kindnesses, mercy, forgiveness??
Praying for you.May God bless you.

[JoanAntoinetteAdija]

I love this video! This is so true. Being Christian doesn’t mean we should dress ugly.

[kikic]

You know, we must be very careful. I humbly and boldly encourage women of God to be very careful as a Christian woman you walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. He does not change or compromise His standards of HOLINESS and neither should you ladies. Don't gamble with truth. Study the word to show yourselves approved and ask the Spirit of God to show you how to adorn your temple. I say this in love.

[lorieneharris]

You are beautiful sis but the scriptures do not teach that God wants us to be glamorous. Yes wear things that make you look amd feel beautiful but Modesty means wearing clothing that doesn't allow people to see your body shape and too much skin.If you're a Christian you are a Christian all the time. You are the church so location doesn't matter.

[seyidaniel]

Lol, listen to that man ma'am. You're tryna make the Bible fit your standards not God's. Listen to that man

[gracelloyd]

I doubt anyone will see this because it’s not a new video but I can finally use some of my theology degree to maybe give some better points of clapping back.
1. Paul’s letters are written to churches and that’s why they start out with a greeting to that church. Timothy was at Ephesus and at this time this church was dealing with false teachers and prophets coming from Aphrodite‘s temple which could only be female. This is why much of first and second Timothy is focused around things women can and cannot do.
2. Make up, braiding of hair and golden jewelry at this time was seen adorning Aphrodite‘s priestesses and prostitutes. So as people of God we are called to not be up this world and Paul was telling the church at this time not to look like those non-Christians
3. Modesty is a personal decision and journey for each person. It won’t look the same for every single one and that’s why there’s no defining limits on what modesty truly is within the New Testament because God knew it would be a journey with the Holy Spirit
4. I would tell this guy to look at the plank within his own eye before trying to pull the spec out of mine because when men comment on other peoples holy spirit lead journey of modesty I think it comes out of their lack of self-control and restraint of dealing with lust and not working on their own journey with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Said to pluck out your own eyes if you look at other women lustfully but we in the western church have forgotten that and placed this burden of men lacking self control on us when God clearly placed on man.
5. Finally when reading the Bible it’s important to understand historical context language differences and the years and years and years of translation and lost manuscripts that have gone into the current scripture that we have which can leave a truly surface level understanding of what God called Christians to be

[koilafinau]

Our God isn't a miserable God, he wants what's best for us and he wants us to be happy and he wants us to reflect his love for us 💕

[sherynngofa]

Scripture to prove that God wants me "glamorous, stylish, and sexy" (2:40) as you stated? Also, I don't want to dress one way in church and not carry the same modesty out into the world. Christian modesty is an issue that I still grapple with; thank you for your platform!

[geriramirez]

Thank you for this as a young Christian who also leads worship at a bigger church it’s almost impossible to not get complaints... so I’m trying to still dress like me with style but also always pleasing God

[geneivalozano]

Guys as Christian people god speaks to us in many different ways, and you guys should know if we are doing something wrong or dressing wrong god would speak to us and tell us to stop, he gave us free will and a mind of our own, if something was wrong with what she was wearing or the way how she thinks he would’ve certainly spoke to her and tell her to correct her mistakes, every one has different views and opinions on things, don’t ever let someone’s opinion bring you down. She’s not purposely dressing to attract men or causing them to lust unlike some people do. A true man knows his limits and has respect for himself and women and wouldn’t cause them no harm. Guys please stop sexualizing these Christian women and telling them what they’re wearing is inappropriate when what she was wearing was totally fine, a woman can be fully clothed and a man would still want to lust at her. I don’t dress inappropriately but it just annoys me whenever someone tries to bring a woman down and make her feel bad, we aren’t god and he is our only judge. So tired of seeing or hearing you’re going to hell for wearing that or you’re not a woman of god how can you dress like that.
