Wordless Beauty 1 Peter 3:1-7
In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a message by the way their wives live when they observe your pure, reverent lives. 1 Peter 3:1 2 HCSB
Your beauty should not consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothes. Instead, it should consist of what is inside the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God s eyes. 1 Peter 3:3 4 HCSB
For in the past, the holy women who put their hope in God also beautified themselves in this way, submitting to their own husbands, just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You have become her children when you do what is good and are not frightened by anything alarming. 1 Peter 3:5 6 HCSB
Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives with an understanding of their weaker nature yet showing them honor as coheirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 HCSB
Upright character, fostered and submitted to in Jesus, will produce behavior's that please God and bring harmony into one s relationships, especially between a married man and woman.
Peter effectively says, an unbelieving spouse may be won over by the devotion of your reverence for God.
To be gentle is to live with, and give, forgiveness and favor as Jesus has given us forgiveness and favor.
Blessed are the gentle (the meek), for they will inherit the earth. -Matthew 5:5
No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the fruit of peace and righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11 HCSB
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. James 3:17 HCSB
This is the Lords declaration. I will look favorably on this kind of person: one who is humble, submissive in spirit, and trembles at My word. Isaiah 66:2b HCSB
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23 ESV
Ones beauty is found in the hidden person of the heart.
The Beauty of Sarah -Gen. 12:10-20; 18:12; 20:1-18
Just as unbelieving husbands looked upon the lives of their believing wives as a witness to Christ; anyone may be watching you to see what a life devoted to Christ looks like.
A persons wordless beauty must rely on attractive behavior rather than on physical beauty because physical beauty fades, but Christ does not.
