Clothes in the Bible
The Bible speaks of clothing with a variety of words and meanings, and tonight we will look at a few thoughts from Yes, It Matters, by Pastor Tom Brennan.
IN SCRIPTURE:
- R________________ (57)
- A________________ (28)
- C________________ (200+)
- G________________ (186)
USES:
M________________
- 3 – Adam and Eve were insufficiently clothed with “aprons” (i.e. loincloth), so God clothed them with “coats” (tunics or robes).
- A secular society will promote less clothing. (Drag queens exposing themselves, public nakedness decriminalized, looser public standards of dress. See also: Luke 8:26–27, Exodus 32:25)
P________________
- Consider: weather, protection, occasion, job…
- Tunic, girdle, cloak
A________________
- Fashion, decoration, beauty is not inherently bad (vanity is, but we will cover that later.)
R________________
- Significance to some clothing (priests, sackcloth, white robes)
