  4. Dress For Dress For Dress For Success Success Success A Biblical View Of Modesty

  5. A Stated Truth To Start… • The main concern God has always had with man Ù his heart Prov 4:23 Lk 8:15 Acts 8:21-22 • Not just outward actions that comply • Actions that come from committed hearts

  6. A Stated Truth To Start… • God is the only Being that can know this deeply hidden aspect of man Heb 4:12-13 Jn 2:24-25 1 Sam 16:7 • While this “stated truth” has numerous applications for N.T. Christians, we’ll focus only on 1 Ù a disciple’s dress

  7. A Stated Truth To Start… • Consider Peter’s admonition 1 Pet 3:1-5 • Context = a believing woman trying to save her unbelieving husband • Focus is not on her outward appearance (under-dressing OR over-dressing) • Focus = the “hidden person of the heart”

  8. Another Stated Truth… • The previous truth doesn’t mean God is not concerned re: man’s outward actions • Of particular interest = our dress • There are passages from both the O.T. & the N.T. that clearly indicate some things re: our dress

  9. Another Stated Truth… • O.T. & N.T. passages re: man’s dress • God’s desire for our outward appearance • Precautions He gave to ensure proper coverage • Actions He took when His people failed to dress appropriately

  10. Patriarchal Age Gen 3:7, 10-11, 21 • “Nakedness” doesn’t just mean totally nude cp. 2:25 • God obviously wasn’t pleased with how Adam & Eve covered themselves • Modesty isn’t just about others seeing us without proper clothing

  11. Mosaic Age Ex 20:26 28:40-43 • God made provisions for even “accidental” revealing of flesh • Proper undergarments that covered the thigh to the knees

  12. Mosaic Age Ex 20:26 28:40-43 “Breeches” “A garment extending from the waist to or just below the knee, or even to the ankle, and covering each leg separately.” International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Vol. 1, pg. 518

  13. Gospel Age 1 Tim 2:8-10 • Focus is not to be on one’s outer appearance • Yet, the “quality” of our dress is discussed with meaningful terms [defined later] • True adorning = good works that make a claim to godliness
