Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. (1 Peter 3:3-4)

 

It is true that the female’s external features are very important to the moderners. In the past, people adorned themselves simply with clothes and jewels, but now, they set up their standard of beauty, and correct their face and body through various plastic operation. It was made popular. They think that their beautiful appearance will change their life. In fact, society is favorably disposed toward who have good-looking, and it is an attribute of the world belonging to the flesh.

 

However, if these pictures take place in church, what do you think will happen? We can’t think that it isn’t a serious problem, because it can make believers in church be confused. An external problem can cause believers to get in bad and to judge each other. The females must have a care of making frown the face of others or arresting attention with adornments.

 

Many churches have established standards of appearance for preventing these things; men put on formal dress, women put on a long skirt and plain black dress, etc. Above all, they gave emphasis to temperate in having on necklace and earring, and in wearing low-cut dresses. Though it isn’t stipulated in the Bible, they taught it for order of the church. These teaching were great, but everything can be dangerous if it overdo. If it become a means of condemnation, it is much better to don’t teach it, because the most important thing to Christian is spiritual thing.

 

The thing which we have to think deeply before every thing else is where are the concern of the Lord. Yes, the concern of him is in only our spiritual matter. When estimate one woman, her beauty won’t be reflected in the judgment standard of the Lord. Nowadays, many people strive to have a good job and good looks. However, God won’t see their figures, but will see their gentle and quiet adornment of spirit. The beauty of women is on warm and soft mind, and on character that submit to only the word of the Lord and her husband. Ye wives! Remember once again. God is no respecter of persons. He watches only the problem of spirit, our mind.
