Look at yourself in a full length mirror - front, back and side. Ask yourself these questions:

 

► Will what I’m wearing bring God glory (1 Cor. 10;31; Ex. 28:40, 43; Isa. 61:3) and portray me as a godly woman (1 Tim. 2:9-10)?

► Does what I’m wearing meet or exceed God’s standard for being modest (Gen. 3:21; Ex. 20:26; 28:40-43)?

► Will my clothing help or hurt my influence for Christ (Rom. 13:10; 15:3; Phil. 2:3-4)?

► Is it too short or tight? Sit down, cross your legs, bend over, squat down, reach up. At any time, does the garment reveal any of your leg above the knees (Ex. 28:42), which emphasizes my sexuality, thus tantalizing, enticing or tempting men to have impure thoughts (Matt. 18:7; Gal. 5:19 - lasciviousness)?

► Is the neckline too low? Bend over - what can you see? Sit. Have another female tell you what they can see while looking down at you (men serving the Lord’s Supper say this is a real problem!).

► Is it too sheer? Can I see my skin or undergarments through the material? With tops and blouses, is your midriff showing at any time (Gen. 3:21)?

► If sleeveless, are my undergarments visible (Jn. 1:7)?

► Is it appropriate and respectful (Gen. 41:14; Matt. 22:11-14)? When I come to worship, would someone think I was going to a picnic or other social activity, or can they tell I’m my best in my worship to God (Ex. 20:26)?

► Because of how I’m dressed, would someone mistake me for a worldly woman (harlot - Prov. 7:10; Gen. 38:15)?

► Is what I’m wearing stating that I’m dressed to be chaste (pure and holy) or chased (by men)?

► Will it encourage a man to lust after me, thus causing him to stumble and sin (Rom. 14:13; 1 Cor. 8:9; Matt. 5:27-28)?

 

Remember, God may hold you responsible for wrong reactions if YOU dress inappropriately (Matt. 5:27-28; 14:1-12).
