Exodus 19:5-6, 10-13; Leviticus 11:44-45 KJV
There were two things God told them to do. First: were to wash their clothes. By washing their clothes. Israelites were demonstrating their understanding that God is Holy and that to meet with God required holiness. Second: the people were to wash their garments as a symbol of purity, for God's instruction will lead them to purify their lives.
Romans 12:1 1 Peter 2:9-10; Romans 12:2; Proverbs 7:10 KJV
1 Chronicles 16:29 KJV
We as God’s people need to know what it means to worship the Lord in holy attire.
1 Peter 3:3-4 KJV
Peter’s point is not that the inward replaces the outward. Peter’s point is that we are failing if we not dressing up outwardly then we are we are failing to dress up inwardly.
1 Timothy 2:8-10 KJV
“Modest apparel” God wants us to honor Him in the way we dress for church.
Paul tells us what is “proper” in worship in relation to posture (v. 8), clothing (v. 9), and speech (v. 10). Three times the Scripture calls us to “worship the Lord in holy attire.” Each time it is connected to the formal worship of God in the corporate assembly of the saints. In context, the first two references are addressed to “the peoples” and the last reference to our conduct of speech or conversation.
1 Chronicles. 16:28-29; Psalm 96:7- 9 KJV
Revelation 1:6; 4:10-11 KJV
The reverence of earthly worship is patterned after the reverence of heavenly worship.
Genesis. 35:2-3 KJV
Exodus 19:10-11 KJV
Over and over the priests are told to wash their clothes and to put on special clothes for worship. Another reason why we should dress up for church is that it shows respect for God and for God’s place of worship. God says to those who worship Him, “if I am a master, where is My respect?” (Malachi 1:6 NASB).
It is not enough to say that we respect God in our hearts. God wants respect shown.
Show respect for God and for the formal occasion of meeting with your King Jesus.
Leviticus 11:44-45 KJV
When you get ready to go to church, just don’t throw on something convenient at the last-minute remembering that God not only delights in the quality of our worship, but also delights in your “beauty and the glory” that you give unto Him!
