Just like the days of the apostles, the entire body of believers today is not totally shielded from certain controversies that befuddle us and strangle our fellowship with one another. One of them, which seems to be geared towards our women, is the question about the wearing of jewelry among believers.
While some speak for, some speak against. These two positions may be of nothing worth until one party proclaims its view to be a decider of the fate of others in the afterlife. To those believers, anyone who wears earrings, necklace, bracelet or any fashion item with the trace of gold or gems will never enter the kingdom of heaven. To others, jewelry is nothing but a proper conversion of the precious metals and gems that God has created for man to enjoy.
This book, therefore, addresses this controversy objectively from the standpoint of the Bible. By allowing the Bible to speak for itself, the writer of this book employs an exegetic approach in explaining the details of every case cited and how it correlates with other passages of the Bible, thereby coming out with a conclusion that is far from prejudice. At the end of your reading you will learn:
• not to abuse whatever blessing or privilege God has given you access to;
• where the true beauty of a believer lies; and
• to accept believers from other denominations.
