Question:
How should one dress when attending a church service? Should we not dress differently when coming to a meeting than the way we dress for work? Is there any Scripture that tells us how we should dress?

Answer:
The only verses I could find on the subject were 1 Timothy 2:9 and 1 Peter 3:3,5. Those verses give the thought that we should not seek to draw attention to ourselves in the way we dress. However, the reason I dress up a little for meetings is because I want to show respect and honor to the Father and to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who promises to be “IN OUR MIDST.” When I think of the fact that my Savior, the King of kings and Lord of lords, is going to be at the meeting I’m attending, I want to be prepared to meet Him by having right attitudes, thoughts, and by wearing whatever apparel I think would bring the most glory, honor, and praise to the Lord Jesus (Revelation 5:12). This is not to be confused with coming to God for salvation, where we see plainly in Ephesians 2:8,9 that nothing we do, say, or wear has anything to do with becoming a child of God. I’m thankful we’re not under law (Romans 6:14) and that we don’t have to wear special meeting uniforms, but certainly this is a good subject to be exercised about.
