8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any
excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think
about these things.

of women compare themselves to

emphasising that the comparison is unfavourable.
What is the purpose of dressing
immodestly?
1.) to attract potential spouse
2.) to gain attention and praises
3.) to express
The guy you are attracting by sexiness
is not the guy you want to marry.
Jesus is telling the guy you want to
marry to tear out his eye instead of
looking at you when you dress like that.
Sexiness is Power
Of course, sexy is power. That’s closer to the root issue,

Many women or men know that revealing more skin gets

them more power. But here’s the catch: of course there’s
more power in sexiness if you want to pull a man or a
woman by his hormones and not his heart.
 Seeking Approval
People continuously look for compliments, and when they

it means to embrace Jesus as Savior
and Lord and Treasure.
True Beauty
True Beauty is not outward and physical, but inward — a
matter of the heart, by the Spirit.

28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is

circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person
is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is
circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written
code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but
from God.
This is the core issue in life. Where is our
hope for acceptance and love and affirmation
and significance and satisfaction? Where is it?

“Fearless hope in God — that’s the great need

of men and women.”
God is 10,000 times greater than any things of
this world. His look of approval and favor is
10,000 times more valuable than the approval
of others in this world.

There’s no need to dress immodestly to

impress anyone. Because God says.
Conclusion:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you
by name, you are mine. . . . Because you are precious
in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in
return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Fear
not, for I am with you, . . . everyone who is called by
my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I
formed and made” (Isaiah 43:1, 4–5, 7).
