Godly womanhood

in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. – 1 Timothy 2.9-10

In our new non-gendered society, some of these things are now seen as almost sexist. If we talk about any difference between men and women and their roles in society people think we are putting someone down. It is a terrible thing because it is clear than men and women are different – no matter what we like it about. We are not and never will be the same,

And that’s a good thing.

God has some different standards for women and this one of the places where those standards are listed.

Here are some Bible standards for godly women. Dress modestly with care and moderation. Don’t be overly concerned with all the fancy stuff and external appearances.

But truly godly women must adorn themselves with good works.

I wish I could tell you how many godly women have impacted my life. My wife is the most beautiful woman I know. She is beautiful physically and personally but of her beauty, for example, come from her willingness to do good works for others. Pastor’s wives have impacted me with their godliness. I have a number of friends who are godly women and who have impacted my life with their modesty and propriety and good works.

Men and women are different indeed, but we are both are called to let our lights shine so that others might see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven,
