Why is it wrong to wear a cross as a fashion statement?

Wearing the cross merely as jewelry diminishes its sacred significance, transforming it into a trivial accessory rather than a representation of Christ's sacrifice. When treated lightly, it disrespects the grave truths associated with Calvary—the death of the Son of God to bear the wrath of the Father for our sins. This misuse reflects a heart posture that may not fully grasp or honor the reality of Christ's atonement. To wear the cross frivolously is to rob it of its meaning and ignore the call to live a life of repentance and submission to Christ's Lordship.
