Bible Question: Is there a section that comments on proper dress for women? |
Bible Answer: Here is an outline on this subject. 1. Women should emphasize spiritual preparation and beauty more than physical preparation and beauty. a. Women: Do you spend more time getting ready physicall than spiritually? Paul's emphasis is in church gathering. But the same principle holds true in other areas (especially dating). b. Paul's idea isn't prohibition, but modesty and moderation; leagalistic bans on make-up and jewelry aren't supported in this verse. 1. If the heart isn't right, then ways will be found to be immodest and immoderate even within legalistic bounds. 2. In the immortal words of J. Vernon McGee; "If the barn needs painting - paint it! 3. But the principle endures: How we dress really does reflect our hearts before God; are you stumbling someone by how you dress? c. Good works make a woman more beautiful than good jewelry.
