"That ye put off
concerning the former conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that
ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.. " Ephesians
4:22-24
When we become Christians, we are told to "put off"
the old man and his actions because we should
reflect Christ. There are some things that are just
fashion "no no's" when it comes to walking and
living like a Christian woman. Sometimes we have to
check our closets and make sure we don't have any of
those last season or "old man" fashions in our
wardrobes.
Pride.
None of us like to look overweight but pride
sure can bloat us up! It's something that's
not very flattering to a Christian woman. In
Proverbs 6 pride is listed among the things that
God hates.
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea,
seven are an
abomination unto him: A proud look… Proverbs
6:16,17
An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing
of the wicked, is sin. Proverbs 21:4
Anger.
We all like our faces to look nice without any
noticeable blemishes but anger has a way of
affecting our faces. Anger can make our eyes and
faces glow red. It is something that is not kept
inside of us very well. Anger has a way of
showing on the outside and ruining our
appearance.
An angry man stirreth up strife, and a
furious
man aboundeth in transgression. Proverbs 29:22
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not
thyself in any wise to do evil. Psalm 37:8
Selfishness.
Selfishness is one of those fashions we wear
that makes us look so skinny that our bones
show. When we wear selfishness, people can truly
see what is inside of us.
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack:
but he that
hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
Proverbs 28:27
We then that are strong ought to bear the
infirmities
of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Romans
15:1
Whining.
When we are whiners and complainers it makes us
have a drippy appearance and a long face. It's
not something we want to wear and portray as
Christians. Remember how the Israelites
complained to Moses?
And the people murmured against Moses,
saying,What shall we drink? Exodus 15:24
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Philippians 2:14
Bad Attitude.
Wearing a bad attitude is like wearing an
unpleasant smelling perfume. It makes the air
reek around us and we leave a trail everywhere
we go because our bad attitude can rub off onto
other people. Bad attitudes are heart issues.
The source usually goes back to our hearts and
what we are focusing on. We have to get our
hearts right in order to set our attitude right.
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind
is
stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26:3
Conclusion:
I hope I can keep these fashion "no no's" out of my
wardrobe. I know they are all so easy to slip on and
wear but Christ did so much for us that we should
want to wear and display the right things in our
lives as Christians. Look at what He wore for us.
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of
thorns, and the
purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the
man! John 19:5
So, what are you wearing?
