What not to wear
When choosing what to wear there are usually two factors to consider in the selection process: the occasion, and fashion trends. After all, people will try to wear what make them look better.
There is a saying that states that “you are what you wear”. I don’t agree with it, unless it refers to spiritual clothing. We are clothed in our deeds, either good or bad. What we do, what we say, what we think, and how we react to different circumstances defines who we are.
Our behavior captures the attention of those around us, but most important it captures the attention of God: there is not even a tiny wrinkle hidden from him. What you wear may not have any impact in other people, but your spiritual clothing have a direct impact (positive or negative) in other people, as well as in you.
Salvation is at stake, so make sure to identify anything that affects your relationship with God, remove it from your spiritual wardrobe, and clothe yourself in Christ.
But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Col 3:8-10,12-15
