2.  Modesty is mostly ignored in our
time.
 The subject applies to “Men,
women, boys, and girls”
 God standards never change,
they apply to all.

3.  Definitions
 Considerations for a Christian
 False beliefs on modesty
 Nature of men and women
 How to help each other
 Scripture
 Conclusion

4.  Fashion - popular trend,
especially in style of dress and
ornament or manner of behavior.
Could include dress code,
behaviour, speech, body gestures,
business practices, etc.

5. Modesty:
A respectable and caring oneself, freedom from
worldly definition of beauty and worth,
motivated by hatrate of sin and a desire to draw
attention not to oneself but to God.
It comes from the heart: Matthew 15:18 – 20
‘what defiles a person comes from the heart’

6.  Christianity is a lifestyle with identity.
why we are called Christians, those that
looked a Christians were looking at the
outside.

7. When buying, when using:

spots, work, events, church, etc.
 Climate /Weather
 Modesty

8.  Modesty should be ignored when the purpose
justify.
 God sees looks at the inside:
 Dress code does not matter.
 Body art; make up, pearsing, tattoos, etc.
 If I am comfortable, then it is ok- i.e. confidence in
error.
 Men should control themselves, stop being
weak.
 Modesty is for women only.

11. Men Women
Unfortunately, no excuse
permissible to God for falling
for lust.
Job 31:1, “I made a covenant
with my eyes
not to look lustfully at a
young woman.
Matthew 5:28; But I tell you
that anyone who looks at a
woman lustfully has already
committed adultery with her in
his heart.
Unfortunately, no excuse permissible
to God for conforming to sensual
behavior.
Jeremiah 6:15,Are they ashamed of
their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to
blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I
punish them,”
says the Lord.

12.  Luke 17:1,Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that
cause people to stumble are bound to come, but
woe to anyone through whom they come.
 Titus 2:4 – 5, 4Then they can urge the younger
women to love their husbands and children,5 to be
self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be
kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that
no one will malign the word of God.

13.  Romans 12: 2 – Conforming to the things of
the world.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your
mind.Then you will be able to test and approve
what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and
perfect will.

14.  Romans 12:3 – liking fashion puts in position
of elevating yourself.You want to be visible
and of high status.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of
you: Do not think of yourself more highly than
you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober
judgment, in accordance with the faith God has
distributed to each of you.

15.  1Timothy 2:8 – 10 – adorn.
Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray,
lifting up holy hands without anger or
disputing. 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,

16.  1 Peter 3:3 – 4
Your beauty should not come from outward
adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the
wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather,
it should be that of your inner self, the unfading
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of
great worth in God’s sight.

17.  ‘No reason makes what is immodest to
become modest’
 Things to consider when you wake up:
 God’s law
 Other people
 Events
