1. Embracing Christ as the center of my life
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
When you embrace Christ as the center of your life, you are transformed into a new person and all past things are erased. Devoting your heart to God signifies a fresh start, a new mission, a renewed sense of identity. It involves letting go of your earthly concerns, day by day, and relying on Him to lead you. Upon surrendering my life to Christ, I understood that I could not carry the worldly ways with me, including my beloved wardrobe. While I used to find my style in the world, I realized that after surrendering to Christ, I needed to discover my style in Him.
2. Honouring God
According to 1 Corinthians 6:19, once we are born again, our bodies no longer belong to us but to God. Therefore, it is essential for us to honor and show respect towards our bodies, as it serve as a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. Consequently, we should prioritize taking care of our bodies in order to maintain their sanctity.
3. Acts of Obedience
(John 14:15)(Proverbs 3:5-6)
Choosing modesty can have a profound impact on our lives, as it reflects our obedience and submission to God. It is not solely about changing our wardrobe by avoiding extreme short-shorts and skirts, but rather about embracing a mindset of obedience and trust. Personally, I experienced a conviction from the Holy Spirit, prompting me to make changes in my style. Taking small steps towards modesty, I learned to trust that God was in control of my journey, even when I was unsure of what modesty truly meant. Through this obedience and submission, I witnessed God's guidance and support along the way.
