A Woman of Beauty 1 Peter 3:1-4

The world is spending Billions of dollars a year in an attempt to discover beauty. Tons of make-up are manufactured each year. Gyms are available to develop that perfect body. If the gyms cannot help there is liposuction and plastic surgery. In addition there are the designer clothes and labels. For the real woman of fashion the wardrobe would not be complete without the right house and car. All in attempt to manipulate what others think of us. Introduction

1 Peter 3:1-4 1 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outwardarranging 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.

3 Do not let your adornment be merely outwardarranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart… True Beauty Lies in the Inner Person – vs. 3-4a The world has sold us a bill of good saying that beauty is mainly in the external. Those who do not live up to the artificial world standard of beauty (Barbie Image) are left with blaming God for making them short or thick boned or …….. In reality all that God creates is good and when it is yielded to Him becomes beautiful. God has designed you. He gave you the genetics that you needed to do the work that He called you to.

We need to develop the inner or hidden person. The values, goals, and philosophy which drive our lives. Our response to unpleasant circumstances. 1 Samuel 16:7 - Man looks on the external, but God looks at the heart Do not live to please man, live to please God! True Beauty Lies in the Inner Person – vs. 3-4a 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outwardarranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart…

Do not live to please man, live to please God! Matthew 22:37 – Love the Lord with all your heart Proverbs 3:5 – Trust the Lord with all your heart Regardless of what is transpiring in your circumstances in life, you can trust the Lord! True Beauty Lies in the Inner Person – vs. 3-4a 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outwardarranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart…

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. True Beauty is Incorruptible We need to beautify the real person – that which lives inside this body of flesh. Not this body which will grow old, and if the Lord tarries, will die and return to dust. We need to develop that inner person who will one day be clothed in immortality.

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. True Beauty is Incorruptible It was for this inner person who will one day walk the streets of gold which Christ died for! Lets spend our time developing our inward, eternal character.

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. True Beauty is Gentle The word gentle is the term for meekness. Meekness is power under Gods Control. It does not matter what is going on around us for God is in control. I can surrender my life and my circumstances to Him.

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. True Beauty is Gentle Meekness toward God is that disposition of spirit in which we accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting.

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. True Beauty is Gentle Gentleness or meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest. It stems from trust in Gods goodness and control over a situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self. Meekness is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the human will.

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. True Beauty is Quiet Quiet carries the idea of peaceful and/or tranquil. You do not have to fight or manipulate a situation. You cannot change anybody. You simply need to be the person God is calling you to be.

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. True Beauty is Quiet Quiet is Mary sitting at Jesus feet in the midst of commotion. It is the peace that trusts God, knowing He always does and allows that which He means to refine us, and work His ultimate Good in our lives. Quiet is the potters vessel trusting the skill and ability of the master potter.

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. True Beauty is Pleasing to God True Inner Beauty is very precious to God. The term here, means of great value or price. As one is transformed into this inner beauty, they are in reality being transformed into the image of Christ. This is truly precious in the eyes of God.

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. True Beauty is Pleasing to God These lessons are for all of us. This inner beauty is of great price, but one must surrender their will to God. The choice is us to you, but by doing so, you reflect Christ to the world, and this inner character is one of the greatest witnesses one can declare of the love of God.
