No one can deny the effectiveness of messages placed on babies' clothing. Babies are attractive by themselves. People tend to gravitate towards them and this makes the statements on their clothing highly likely to be noticed. This is why a bib worn by a cute toddler or newborn is a great way to spread any message, but especially the messages of Christianity.
Christians believe that all life comes from God and this is one idea that is often seen on the bibs worn by newborn and toddlers. The baby apparel pieces are sometimes adorned by beautifully written statements about children as God's gift. Sometimes the scripture verses that illustrate the concept are used.
Sometimes though, the messages may be about God's love and his sacrifice for mankind. It is not strange to find also a warning or an urgent call to accept the gift of salvation as a message on a bib. This is because, like almost everyone else who is advertising a product Christians feel the need to use the most opportune moments to spread their message. This is however, a message that leads to not just another consumer product, but eternal life.
While Christians have a set of rules that they live by, many of which require a rejection of worldly pleasures, they are not averse to modern concepts such as fashion and humor. This is revealed in the many beautiful designs that are features of these baby clothing items. Funny statements and images, Biblical in nature of course, placed on the baby's bib, elicit humor and can do much when it comes to lightening the mood if the need arises. These statements serve as a gentler ways of sharing faith based principles with others.
The statements that are inscribed onto these baby clothing items also reveals that Christian parents and guardians also, like all others, have a sense of humor. Chuckle inducing statements with Biblical undertones are often used to create humor while gently sending important faith based messages. These allow the parents or guardians of the child to be diplomatic or subtle in their evangelizing attempts.
Many of these baby clothing are actually customized to become message boards for Christianity's important messages. Crafty mothers and fathers, after purchasing regular designs, make them unique by using methods such as embroidery or painting to display the messages. Those who present the items as gifts to parents also tend to customize them through this means. Additionally, many baby clothing producers actually create faith based items to suit the needs of Christian clients.
The task of spreading the good news of salvation is one that is assigned to all Christians. This is why members of the faith try so many innovative means of letting others become more aware of the gospel. Christian mothers and fathers are playing their role in telling others about Christ through the use of the clothing in which they dress their babies.
