The biblical meaning of inner beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible tells us our beauty is not measured by the clothes we wear or how we look.  Instead, we have inner beauty which is based on who we are, not what we look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the scripture say about true beauty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important bible verse is from 1 Peter, \u201cwhat matters is not your outer appearance \u2013 the styling of your hair, the jewellery you wear, the cut of your clothes \u2013 but your inner disposition.  Cultivate inner beauty that is the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s description of a woman in the bible?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biblical woman is gospel-centred.\u00a0 She is created, redeemed, blessed, and gifted to be a blessing to those around her.\u00a0 In the book of Proverbs, a woman is clothed with strength and dignity; She can laugh at the days to come.\u00a0\u00a0 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instructions are on her tongue.\u00a0 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness \u201cMany women do noble things, but you surpass them all.\u201d\u00a0 We need to address the intention behind the use of makeup.\u00a0 What intentions do you have when you get dressed for church, gym, or work?\u00a0 What thoughts run through your mind when you are planning a night out with your friends?\u00a0 Are you dressing to impress others or is your identity found in God?\u00a0 We must remember where our truth in identity lies.\u00a0 Our worth is found in Christ.\u00a0 When we forget, we open up believing the lies of the world.\u00a0 \u201cI am ugly without makeup.\u201d I am not pretty enough\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cI am not pretty as her.\u201d\u00a0 God has crafted our hearts in his likeness.\u00a0\u00a0 He wants our identity, confidence, and, security to come from the foundation as his daughter not how we enhance our looks.\u00a0 As the scripture states, God \u201clooks at the hidden person of the heart\u201d, and that is\u201d very precious in the sight of God. \u201cGod does care about your outward appearance too.\u00a0 But he cares about your heart more.\u00a0 He carefully crafted and wove you together in your mother\u2019s womb.\u00a0 He took care to create an eye colour hue for your hair and even planned how would look lie right down to the very placement of your freckles.\u00a0 When we put on makeup, we need to be careful that it doesn\u2019t become an idol.\u00a0 Scripture warns us that we should never focus so much on the outside appearance at the cost of neglecting our insides.\u00a0 When we do it leads to more believing lies, creates self-worth issues, and more sin.\u00a0 As daughters of God, we are free to wear makeup so long as we do so with pure motives.\u00a0 Always remember God cares so much about the beauty of your soul.\u00a0 He wants us to dress in his love and character so that we reflect him.\u00a0 Ultimately, we are his masterpieces his creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 He is the ultimate artist who fashioned us and called us very good.\u00a0 Tell me, my dear sisters.\u00a0 How can you stand in front of God your father with mini skirts and dresses, exposing your body parts? He will feel very bad.\u00a0 Dress with modesty. If we are dressing to attract people\u2019s attention remember the people who watch us and their hearts and eyes are filled with lust.\u00a0 We are making them commit adultery in their hearts.\u00a0 And if we are causing them to sin by our way of dressing then believe we are equally at fault and will be punished.\u00a0\u00a0 A woman should cover her head when she is in church.\u00a0 \u00a0She should dress decently.\u00a0 Do you think bikinis, short dresses, and dresses exposing body parts does it reflect that we are Children of God?\u00a0 You may not agree with me.\u00a0 But I believe in speaking the truth no matter what.\u00a0 In anyways are we reflecting God\u2019s character?\u00a0 God wants us to be examples to others not follow the world. \u00a0\u00a0If you think you are not beautiful? You are questioning your God\u2019s creation.\u00a0 Can God\u2019s creation be ugly and horrible?\u00a0 We use multiple products just because we want fair skin tone etc, excessive makeup, etc.\u00a0 Don\u2019t please the people of this world who will love your outer beauty and then after someone time, their interest fades away instead enhance your inner beauty where people love to be with you for what you are (inner qualities even when we die people may say for a while \u201cshe was cute, beautiful and charming and may forget.\u00a0 The most talked about even we die is our character and the way we lead our lives, and our qualities will always be talked about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Timothy 2: 9-10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Likewise, also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness- with Good works,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuteronomy 22:5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman shall not wear a man\u2019s garment, nor shall a man put on w woman\u2019s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.  (Example:  what does a man wear shirt, t-shirt jeans) Today if you see a woman wearing pants, jeans, t-shirts, shirt, etc)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Peter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not let your adorning be external.  The braiding of your hair and the putting on of gold jewellery, or the clothing you wear but let our adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God\u2019s sight is very precious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 John 2:15-16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Do not love the world or the things of the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the father is not in him.  For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life are not from the father but are from this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 4: 30              <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you, o desolate one, what do you mean that you dress in scarlet, that you adorn yourselves with ornaments of Gold, that you enlarge your eyes with paint?  In vain you beautify yourself; your lovers despise you; they seek your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROVERBS 31:30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charm is very deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the lord is to be praised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 3: 16-26<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walked with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet, therefore the lord will strike with a scab the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the lord will bare their secret parts.  On that day the lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents; the pendants the bracelets and the scarves the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes the perfume boxes and the amulets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Song of Solomon 4:7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are altogether beautiful, my love, there is no flaw in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrews 10: 26<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revelation 2:20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 11:5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 But every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head since it is the same as if her head was shaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Timothy 2:11-14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Let a woman learn quietly with all her submissiveness.  I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.  For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You wanted to be enlightened about the truth. I have told you. Now it entirely depends on the choice you make because you are made aware of the knowledge of the truth.  So, if you still want to ignore it.  That is your choice.  Remember this world you try to please will come to an end and we all have to die and go to God and give him the account of the life we lived.  There will be no excuses.  Everything that is in the dark will be brought to light.  Nothing is hidden.  I hope I was of help to all of you readers.  If you did like it. Please do let me know.  It encourages me to write more.  If you want to know about any other topics feel free to let me know.  I hope I can be a help to all my brothers and sister.  God bless with his peace and mercy.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
