Should Christians wear a cross?


Should Christians wear a cross? Many do, because the cross points to Jesus.

At FOLLOW, we put a small cross on our clothes. Wearing one is a reminder. It's never a requirement. Faith. Purpose. Comfort.

The cross is about Jesus

The cross is about Jesus: His death, His resurrection, and the people who belong to Him.

It isn't a trend or a shape with no meaning. Christians wear a cross because it points to Christ.

Not required, not an idol

You don't have to wear a cross. The gospel doesn't hang on a symbol.

A cross isn't a charm either. It doesn't save you, and it can't replace following Jesus.

We keep the cross small so it can remind you, not rule you. If you never wear one, you're still free in Christ.

Clothes, not only jewelry

Most answers to this question are about necklaces. We make clothes.

A shirt is what you live in. A small cross on fabric goes with you through work, church, and the rest of the week.

For how we actually wear it, read wearing a cross. This note covers whether. That one covers how.
