The Bible’s View Of Beauty

The Bible view of what makes one beautiful does not require surgical procedures done in a clinic or hospitalSlide4

1 Pet. 3:3-4 (

NKJV

)

“Do

not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God

.”Slide5

1 Pet. 3:3-4

Note that Peter, an inspired apostle, referred to “incorruptible beauty”

All physical beauty is subject to corruption!Slide6

Physical Aging

The hair turns gray or falls out

The skin sags and wrinkles take over

Weight may increase and may redistributeSlide7

Physical Aging

The natural elements – sunlight and gravity – take their toll

All the surgical procedures in the world can’t stop this from happening!Slide8

Inward Beauty

Is not affected by time as outward beauty is

For the Christian, the inward beauty grows, deepens and matures with each passing daySlide9

Inward Beauty

The inward beauty grows by the wisdom of experience and a greater understanding of God’s word gained from years of study and faithful livingSlide10

Inward Beauty & Obedience

Nothing in our world can dim the loveliness of “A gentle and quiet spirit” (1 Pet. 3:4

NKJV

)

This is a spirit that “fears God and keeps His commandments (Eccl. 12:13)Slide11

NKJV

)

Is 61:10Slide18

Is. 61:10

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom

decketh

himself with ornaments, and as a bride

adorneth

herself with her jewels.Slide19

Is. 61:10

Garments of salvation

Acts

“And

when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing

The Virtuous Woman

Proverbs 31:10-31

Not a word is mentioned about her physical attractiveness

He writes about her charity, industry and her wisdomSlide21

The Virtuous Woman

“Charm

is deceitful and beauty is passing,

But

a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised

.”
