1st John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The standards of the world, as far as outward appearance goes, does not give a person one iota of value in the sight of God, nor in reality. All of the so-called must haves, as pertains to one’s outward appearance, are a nothing burger as far as one’s valuation goes. Tattoos, outward adornment, and the whole nine yards of “blings” and things do not add one percentage of value to a person.
According to the scripture the Christian is to cherish godly principles of decency, cleanliness, and most of all, a charitable, kind spirit, that stands free of those eccentrics that are mandated in the social realm, in order for persons to be accepted.
When persons get bogged down with the latest fashions and societal must haves, they can become slaves of society’s mode of thought and action, and consequently, one can begin to feel inferior, or not accepted and valued, if they are not bowing to the prevailing fashion god.
1st John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
