who love Jesus will want to please
Him in all things. They will not want
to do anything that will destroy or
harm their relationship of love and
trust with Him.

in anything is sin. Moderation,
temperance, and self-control are the
Holy Spirit’s ideal for us.
- 2 Timothy 2:15. We
are to conduct ourselves in a way
that God can approve. Anything

Christian.
- 2 Corinthians
6:14. Christian standards
include faithfulness to God and each

9:8.

of pride, the Bible warns against the
free use of ornamental jewelry and

reformation is always accompanied by dress
reform and the removal of ornamental jewelry.
Genesis
35:1-5; Exodus 33:5,6; Hosea 2:13.
- 1 Peter 3:3-5. It
is the inner person that counts-not
the external adornment.
- 1 John 2:15-17. The
bible counsels us not to love the
world and its glitter. All the pride
of the world will pass away.
- 2 Corinthians 7:1. We
are to prefect holiness, avoiding
anything that would defile us
spiritually or separate us from God.

Christ, we can do anything He wants
us to do.
