1st Peter 3: 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 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.
There is an old saying that goes like this: “Dress to Impress”, but to put it plainly, God is not impressed with outward appearances on any level. He bids us to be chaste and modest in dress, and appearance, as we should be, but in the greater scheme of things we cannot add any value to ourselves, by outward appearance in any form.
Unfortunately, some persons have gone to great lengths to adopt a bulimic lifestyle, following some of these TikTok stars down a rabbit hole that leads to neverland, in the vain pursuit of what modern culture deems to be the perfect body.
God is not impressed at all. In fact, an overweight believer in The Lord Jesus is of more value in God’s sight than a lean, good-looking, sculptured person who has rejected Christ. Man’s ways of valuating persons are quite often diabolically, and diametrically opposed to the way God esteems a person. The sacred truth must now be permanently etched into the minds of the many gullible persons, who may think it necessary to be a slave of society’s standards in order to have worth.
1st Timothy 4: 8 For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
