LESSON 52
Why It Important to Think About the Way We Dress and the Way We Look?
Everybody can decide to dress and look the way they like. But when we follow some simple Bible principles, we will not only wear what we like, but we will also wear clothes that will make Jehovah happy. Let learn some of the Bible principles.
1. What Bible principles can help us to decide what we will wear and how we will look?
We must choose “appropriate dress, with modesty and soundness of mind,” and always be looking clean so that other people can see our “devotion to God.” (1 Timothy 2:9, 10) Let see four Bible principles. (1) The clothes we wear must be alright. To the congregation meetings, maybe you na see that Jehovah people can dress different-different ways but all their clothes and hair styles can show respect for God. (2) To dress with modesty mean we must not dress in a way that will make someone heart to go on man and woman business, or for people to just be looking at us. (3) We can show that we sound when we not follow all the new ways of dressing because plenty people like it. (4) The way we look must always show that we serving God. It must be easy for other people to see that we worshiping the true God.—1 Corinthians 10:31.
2. Why we must think about our brother and sister them when we deciding what to wear?
Even though we free to choose what we want wear, it good to think about whether the way we dress will cause problems for other people. We must try our best not to make other people to feel bad. But to “please [our] neighbor for his good, to build him up.”—Read Romans 15:1, 2.
3. How the way we dress can make people to want learn more about Jehovah?
We always try to dress the right way, but we must be more careful about how we dress when we going to meeting and field service. The way we dress must not make people to refuse our message. But it must make people to want learn more about the truth and to “adorn the teaching of our Savior.”—Titus 2:10.
