BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 3:6-11
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
MESSAGEInin today’s world, it has become mainly a statement of status, a way to seduce, or an attempt to fit in. None of these are the mind of God when it comes to dressing. God’s primary purposes are to cover our nakedness and to glorify Him. Unfortunately, these purposes are gradually missing in the minds of young people today because we are in an age of immodesty and materialism. The first set of clothing manufactured by God Himself for the first human beings, Adam and Eve, was to cover their nakedness (Genesis 3:21).
Therefore, to honor God in your dress, you must be modest. To be modest means to dress appropriately so that no sensitive body part is shown. As a lady, your thighs, cleavage, chest, waist, and stomach should be adequately covered. Your panty line should also not be seen through your dress. As a boy, your thigh, chest, abdomen, or arms are not to be exposed for all to see. I want you to know that if you honor God with your dressing, He will also honor you (1 Samuel 2:30b).

HYMN 5 – Take My Life And Let It Be
1. Take my life and let it
Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moment and my days
Let them flow ceaseless praise.
- Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee - Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my king;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee. - Take my sliver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
Every power as thou shalt choose. - Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall no longer be mine:
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne, - Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take me, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee
