Are
you in style? What is the best
style of all time? Are you what
you wear? Or does what you wear
show what you are?
God wants the best for each
of you. He wants so much for you
to be the best that he has even told us what not to wear.
But he also wants to show us what to wear, so that we can be the best
people of all time.
Since
the garden of Eden people have been concerned about their clothes.
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit that caused them to become ashamed
of who they are. Then they
attempted to make some clothes from leaves, but God intervened and said that
He had other plans. He took the
skins from animals and made them some clothes that were much better suited to
them. God made them to be in
style with Him. He made them
clothes that could not be matched with anything that they could make for
themselves. God still cares about
what we wear. The spiritual
clothes we make for ourselves fall short of what we could have with the Lord. Don’t you want the best that life has to offer.
Then try some of God’s clothes on today.
What kind of clothes does the Lord have for us?
Will you try out some of God’s styles?
Col.
3:7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage,
malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its
practices
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the
image of its Creator.
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against
one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in
perfect unity.
What
not to Wear?
Why
should we not wear these? These are ugly. These
make you look ugly.
These are detrimental to your
health and well-being.
These
are anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Do
not lie to each other.
These
are the natural clothes that we all have.
Try out some new threads from the original designer.
What
should we wear to be in style with the Lord?
Everyone is being renewed in
knowledge in the image of its Creator. We
must be recreated or reborn from above. Do
you want some new clothes? Are
you tired of the same old clothes that never seem to be right for you?
What is the problem? You
need to be remade (makeover) by the Lord.
There is no difference
between types of people: race or
income or knowledge or place of origin. You
are all God’s chosen people, holy, and dearly loved…
God has a set of clothes for everyone.
He has some for you. Do
you want to try them on?
Wear these:
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Forbear with each other and forgive whatever grievances as the Lord
forgave you. Now there are some
clothes worth wearing. There are
some clothes that are going to make you feel like a million bucks.
There are some clothes that will never shrink and wear out.
There are some clothes that are going to help you to live forever.
That is a super outfit.
Most of all we need to put on
love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Love is the ultimate overcoat that when worn can cause to remain safe,
secure, and warm.
Would you give God’s
clothes a chance? Would you be
willing to try some of them on today? How
do they feel? Doesn’t it feel
good to not be bitter, angry, resentful, and full of hatred?
Now these are the clothes that will help you to have the best that life
can offer. This line of clothes
is straight from the top original designer.
These are the best.
Let God make you over to be
the best and have the best of this life!
