SERMON OUTLINE: DO CLOTHES MATTER?

DO CLOTHES MATTER?
Gen. 3:
10  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
 11  And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
 21  Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

PROVERBS 7
 10  And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

1 COR. 11
14  Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
 15  But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. note
 16  But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom,

1 PETER 3
 3  Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
 4  But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

WHAT SHOULD WE PUT ON?
1 Cor. 15:53-54 corruption must put on incorruption then death would have been swallowed up in victory.
Gal 3:27 those baptised into Christ have put on immortality
Eph. 4:24-25 put on the new man which is created in righteousness and holiness
Eph. 6:11-18 put on the whole armour so that you can fight the fight of faith successfully - helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, sword of the word, feet covered with the gospel at all times, shield of faith.
Col. 3:10-17 put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge, in the image of the Creator Christ, holy and beloved, bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering.
