As a Christian, what do you think makes a woman beautiful? - Anonymous
When I think of beauty, I think of the cross. What I find attractive in a woman is a love and passion for Jesus. The world has given us the perception that we must look a certain way to be viewed as beautiful, but we are all beautiful in God’s eyes. Each one of us is God’s creation and uniquely made for His purpose. We are constantly being molded both inwardly and outwardly to fit His divine will. It doesn’t matter what you look like, what you wear, or how much money you have, we are all worthy of Christ dying on the cross for us. We are imperfect and undeserving, yet loved by a King. Jesus paid the ultimate price for us. That is what was so beautiful and majestic about the cross. Because when God looks at us now, He see His Son. This is how we should look at others, with the love and compassion of Christ. 1 Peter 3:3-4 says, Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For me, beauty comes from the heart and a heart that is being led by the Spirit is truly something to be valued. What could be more beautiful than a sister who is serving the Lord, diving into the Word, remaining faithful in prayer, and has an authentic relationship with the Father. When you are so in love with God, looks become so insignificant compared to the glory of Christ.

What would you do if you learned that you were another person’s object of lust? For a background, i know this person because we came from the same school, but he’s not actually a friend like a very close friend. I know for sure that the way I dress protects me to be an object of lust — I’m a Christian by the way (and i’m really cautious with what I wear). So, I would just want to know, if you have there any advice, on how I will be able to respond to this kind of situation? Thanks. God bless. -Anonymous
As Christians yes we should dress in a way that God would approve of not only because God does not look at our outer appearance, but at our hearts(1 Samuel 16:7), but also because the way we dress and look can also cause others to stumble. 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Peter 3 both talk about dressing yourself with good deeds rather than clothes/jewelry. You do not want to be the cause of the sinning and stumbling of others so the best thing to do is rebuke them out of love and just simply tell them that friends do not have these kinds of feelings for each other. If they do want to have a relationship with you then they have to chase after God and win over your heart. As Christians we deserve the very best in a relationship and if someone only cares about you only for your looks then He/She isn’t the man or woman of God you need in your life. Friendships same thing we should be building each other up not bringing others down and you should help you friend to understand that. Love on your friends, but don’t be afraid to be firm with them when you have to especially when it comes to these type of things. The bible is your sword and use it to guide you and to assist in the direction of others. There are many passages in the bible that can help you for example read Matthew 5:27-30.
