Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
A great question was asked in our CHOF Christian Fellowship Facebook
spiritual group this morning
“Is it Ok or not for Christian women to wear jewelry?”

Well here is my answer for anyone that has this same question.

In First Samuel 16:7 (NCV)
it says:
God does not see the same way people see.
People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

1 Timothy 2:9-10 (NCV) says:
⁹ Also, women should wear proper clothes that show respect and self-control,
not using braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
¹⁰ Instead, they should do good deeds, which is right for women who say they worship God.

Now,
Paul didn’t prevent women from wearing jewelry, makeup,
or braided hair, but he explains to them that women should not to their outward
appearance to become more important than their inner beauty.

Also in 1 Peter 3:3-4,
Peter gives a divine statement, he says:
³ It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. ⁴ No, your beauty should come from within you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God.

So as you can see,
there’s nothing wrong with wearing jewelry, makeup,
or braided hair as long as it is done in a modest manner.
The Bible says a woman shouldn’t be so focused on her outward appearance
that she neglects her inner spiritual life.

Beloved,
the Bible focuses on the heart
(mind and emotions).

So if a woman is spending too much of her time and money
on her appearance, the problem is that the woman’s priorities are wrong.
Expensive jewelry and clothing are the results of the problem, not the problem itself.

Have a blessed day.
