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:
I think that we should wear our best clothes and I say this because we should show reverence to God. He should be very important to us and we should want to look our very best. If the President or Vice-President were to invite us for a visit, we would have on our very best clothes and look very neat and clean. How much more important is God to us?

We, as Christians, should dress a lot differently when going to meeting than the way we dress for work, mainly because we need to reverence God. In days gone by, I’ve heard a lot of the older brothers and sisters say that they would only wear the very best clothes when going to meeting. However, today, this is not the case. We must also remember that we are being watched by others around us that may or may not be Christians. If they see us in a nice dress or suit, they most likely know where we are going and that is a very good testimony for us. Even children know how we should be dressed for meeting. Here is an example:
It was a Tuesday night and it was a very hectic day 4C: for me. Meeting started at 7:30 p.m. and my daughter Kristin had on just an ordinary dress that she wears all the time. I did not have the time to change her and as we were getting ready to go she said to me, “Mommy, where are we going?” I said to meeting. She said, “But Mommy I have to change and put on my Sunday school dress,” and she was not satisfied until I changed her. She was just three years old at the time. I believe that we should all have this kind of attitude when we are dressing for meeting. We should want to dress different because we love God and because of all He has done for us. After all, He deserves our very best, doesn’t He?
I know of one reference in the Bible along this line, and that is First Timothy 2:9,10, which reads as follows: “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided (-or plaited] hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.”Of course, we have to use our discretion when dressing but let us always remember that we should show reverence unto God and that others around us are constantly watching us, and the way we dress may either help or hurt our testimony.
