Dress For Success!

Posted: February 15, 2009 in Uncategorized

Since we had no power, no screens working and an auditorium that we quite dark it make reading and taking notes quite hard I promised that I would post scripture references ets.

 

Job 40:10  Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty.

Isaiah 61:3 …and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the full armor of God

Colossians 3:12 clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience

Genesis 3:9  But the LORD God called to the man, ‘‘Where are you?”

 

Here is the problem with many ”Christians”,… they are:

 

1.  Naked

Revelation 3:14-22 
 But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness   
 

Naked Christians – No Fruit

 

Galatians 5 -  Fruits of the spirit 

Matthew 7:19 
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

 

Fruits are not created – The Are GROWN  

 

2.  Naked but, wearing only a helmet

 

Ephesians 6:10-17 
….17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,

Notice that salvation in liked to a helmet. Imagine a person butt naked but wearing only a helmet….not so good!

 

3.  Cross dressers

 

 

A cross dressing Christian wears Jesus ½ and the world ½

 

What the Bible calls a person that does this is: Hypocrite

 

Matthew 15:7

7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 ”‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

 

Check out Matthew chapter 23 where Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites 7 times

 

 

What should we Do?

 

Romans 13:14 
Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
