7. Are there Biblical principles to guide the Christian in his or her dress?

God provided the first clothing for Adam and Eve and knows that we need suitable clothing today. We can choose our clothing on the principles of simplicity, modesty, practicality, health, and attractiveness (Matthew 6:25-33). Our choice of attractive and modest dress demonstrates to the world that we are Christ’s. JTL19 9.1

As pilgrims about to enter heaven’s “Canaan,” we will put away jewelry that may not only prevent God’s blessing in these urgent times, but also be an unnecessary expense. If we lift the Savior up in the way we speak, act, and dress, we become like magnets, drawing people to Him and not ourselves. Also, abstaining from self-adornment by not wearing any jewelry could be a statement of our dedication and commitment to God, by living a modest Christian life. JTL19 9.2
