Growing up, I never really had a problem with dressing up for church on Sunday. I never really questioned it until I was older. I am not about to tell anyone what to wear to church, but how we enter a place of worship is something to think about. My point is, in our personal choice for what to wear to go to worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, does it matter how we look? More importantly, does it matter to Him? God is looking at the heart. How do you prepare to meet with the Lord?
Mount Sinai was a very significant place. This is where God met with Moses in the burning bush and this is where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments.
The first four commandments tell us our duty to God. He must be FIRST no matter what. The other six tell us our duty to ourselves and to others. The fifth commandment is the only one with a promise attached. “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” Isn't that interesting?God gave these laws to the Israelites to direct them on meeting needs of others and to guide them to a lifestyle of holiness. We should make every effort to be holy but understand that it is not by our law-keeping that earns God’s grace. These laws also make us aware that everything we do has a consequence. We should be mindful of how we treat others and how they see us.
These laws are God’s standards. Having the knowledge of it also brings the knowledge that we need repentance and the Savior! Thank you Jesus!
