Today we will discuss the beauty of a woman in the light of God’s Word. Most of the time we are attracted to external beauty but God’s Word teaches us that internal beauty is the real beauty.
External beauty is temporary but internal beauty lasts longer.
We describe a woman’s beauty as her outward appearance but in the eyes of God the true beauty of a woman is her character, kindness and her faith in God.
A story in the Bible teaches us that inner beauty is more admirable in the eyes of God than external beauty. Where Ruth, despite being outwardly beautiful, was praised for her loyalty and love for her mother-in-law Naomi.
The beauty of a woman is revealed when she fears God and keeps all his commandments.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about a woman’s beauty.
