Christian Clothing-Does God Care What You Wear?
Christian Clothing- What to Wear?
Before I answer the question about Christian clothing, let me give you some guidelines and background on how I can “speak for God”. Until recently, (the last couple of years) I did not think about or care about clothes. This is going to be my opinion on what I think God would have you wear. Please do not go ballistic until you read the whole page.
My initial (and final answer, sorry Regis) is God doesn’t care what you wear. If someone has put pressure on you or tried to condemn your clothing choice let me help you with one of my favorites scriptures, Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, God is not going to condemn your clothing selection. If you haven’t accepted Jesus, you are being condemned but not by God. Satan hates you and condemnation is a very effective weapon in his arsenal. With that said, I do believe God is passionate about clothes. Read Genesis 3:21 And for Adam and Eve He made tunics of skin and clothed them.
God made the first clothes to cover Adam’s (and Eve’s) mistake. God was fine with us walking around naked, that was His original and perfect plan, but something changed…Sin entered the world and adjustments to His plan had to be made. With sin in the world it was no longer perfect, it was immediately out of order.
Here is how I have it pictured; Adam was made in God’s image. He was like God, made up of three distinct parts: spirit, soul and body (God is Father, Son, Holy Spirit) for a scripture reference we look to 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Adam and Eve have their individual god-like trinity (three parts, one person remember we are made in His image) and they were given this wonderful garden with only one rule…Don’t eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:17)
What happened? You know the story…They ate the fruit and something died…but what? Adam was still walking around and hiding after he ate from the forbidden tree. His body didn’t die. He was still thinking, still had emotions because when he heard God he was scared and hid himself. His soul did not die (I define soul as mind, will and emotions) God’s word is true so something had to die when Adam ate the fruit…Adam’s spirit died. I am not going to get into an in depth teaching on body, soul and spirit but before Adam ate the fruit, he communed with God, using his spirit. (God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth John 4:24)
So in order to fix (temporarily) Adam’s mistake, the nakedness had to be covered. Vegetation (Adam’s attempt) was not going to do the trick, there had to be a sacrifice. Read Hebrews 9:22 God killed an animal (my guess it was probably a lamb) this was a big deal because Adam’s job was to name the animals and he knew exactly which animal God destroyed to cover their nakedness. God takes the clothing industry seriously.
Christian clothing, in it’s current form, is a niche or market segment of the clothing industry, Christian t-shirts, Christian jewelery, Christian apparel etc. is made to market to Christians. This is a very good business model (in my opinion) but not necessarily one God is involved in . God loves all His kids, the ones that worship Him, as well as the ones that hate Him. Read John 3:16 again, God so loved the world…Christian clothing should be defined as ANY clothing that gives God the glory.
We understand secular clothing companies are only “in it for the money”. They (secular companies) would argue Christian clothing companies are in it for the same reason. Christian clothing, in our opinion, is not a particular clothing line but an attitude.
Again, we know God loves all His kids, good and bad, but we also know every one of you reading this will one day die (hopefully much later) and God will one day judge all of His kids. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once and after this the judgment. Like it or not, believe this or not you are going to die, God knows this too so He sent His son Jesus to seek and saved them that were lost. God is loving, merciful, caring etc but He is also just and a just God will require you to answer for your life.
There will be no detour once you die, to be absent the body is to be present with the Lord. You will answer one of two ways, Yes God I believed in Jesus or no I lived my life the way I wanted to and did not acknowledge You or Your Son…the judgment. If you choose not to follow God in this life, don’t be surprised when God doesn’t let you follow Him in the next life.
Death is certain, what happens after that, eternity, is left to your personal faith or belief. The Bible tells you to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) Christian clothing should help a lost and dying world chose Jesus. So if the clothes you wear give God glory I believe God is for that and not against it.

Thanks for the encouraging words of truth for it take an intimate closeness to Christ Jesus for one to know the true essence of cloths and how inportant it is and was to God the owner of all .
I was once upon a time an ambitious worldly fashion evolutionist until june 11, 2008 when Jesus showed His amazing love to me and transform my fashion life for His glory and purpose.
Since then finding the right source, connection and people in orther to network as one to accomplish the project that Christ asighned to me has never been easy . I ‘ve come accross many who care and feel nothing for JESUS while the potentials He bestowed in me they dangerously desire for thier own glory .
Well, i’ve been evolving fashion since 1998 until the transformation which actually and supernaturally elevate and brought out the true meaning of my potentials and existance and why i’m on earth .
Jesus has unvail to me trough His Spirit what He want to do with the fashion ability He bestowed in me and together we have come up with a long range of evolutionary designs which includes T-shirts, Polo shirts, Hoodies, Juggers, Track suits, Winter jacket, Shirts, Snickers, sport wears, Hats, etc and masive write up shirts that portrays Christ in numerous ways .
The world is rapidly advancing to doom on dailly basis and one of the uniq way to captivate her attention is by flaunting something new to her and evolutionary fashion is one of the way God want to use to captivate the world in this end time .
The blueprint of this evolutionary clothing line that is soon to come by Grace is already completed and advancing with more concept .
The name of this gracious clothing line is…… ISAIAH9:6 stationed for Christ Glory, recognition and promulgation alone . And it has thee logos, logo 1 is an abstract portray of a little child that was born to all . Logo 2 is a 12 colour engulf with the shape of a capsule representing ISAIAH9:6 as a colourful one . And lastly the logo 3 is a monogram in which ISAIAH9:6 is placed in .
The blueprint of ISAIAH9:6 contains all the present evolutionary designs, gracious logos and marketing strategy ….. God’s own monopoly in the clothing industry on earth.
It’s crystal that we already have alot of Christian clothing lines on earth but i desire to see the dawn of a Christ clothing line that will stunne, convulse and captivate the world in order for the heart of the world to once more say…. Jesus is Alive and He is God.
I’ve been working with CHRIST THE HOLY SPIRIT about this since 2008 ’cause He’s the pioneer of it all and His altimate desire is that all true Christian clothing line should unite and work as a body in order that Christ glory should be perfectly awesome in the clothing industry .
Thank you my Dear beloved in Christ Jesus for positively ang graciously contributing truthfully in the world of Christian clothing lines . And all thanks to JESUS our Only Hope.
Remember me in prayers.
Yours faitfully .

I think the wearing of a Custom Christian T-shirt is an excellent way to share my faith. We see everything else of a shirt, why not the Love of the Lord.
