Yesterday we talked about the word "sexy", how the clothing marketers are using that word in the design of most of their clothing selections, and how it is in direct contradiction to the Word of God.
Now, today I'm going to blow your mind! Yesterday I explained that it is not God's will for women to flaunt their sexuality, and that is Scriptural (I Peter 1:15). However, being sexy IS being holy, under certain circumstances. "Say what, Mrs. Kim???" I can see all of your minds spinning:-) Well, before some of you go into cardiac arrest, let me explain!
Many ladies believe that being sexy or even desiring to be sexy is wicked and definitely the opposite of holy. But, wait a minute! God created our sexuality! And, He did so with a purpose in mind.
The book of the Song of Solomon is filled with examples of human sexuality. But, there's just one thing: the examples are all about a husband and a wife! So, being sensual or sexy is appropriate and even pure in God's eyes (Hebrews 13:14) between a married couple. It is not unholy or in the least bit sinful to celebrate our sexuality within the boundaries God has set forth---the marriage commitment. If you are not married, then God expects you to save your sexual, sensual, and feminine desires for your future husband. That means the garments that draw attention to your breasts, your rear, or your legs need to be saved for your husband alone.
Looking sexy is not a sin, girls, until you use your sensuality to bring pleasure to eyes that are not yours to pleasure.

These posts are so timely, girls. I was going to write on "glorifying God in our dress", but I don't need to - Mrs. Kim has nailed it! This is why that even married women are to dress modestly in front of everyone except their husband...even after marriage, God still expects us to keep our bodies for our husband alone!
ReplyDeleteSo, sexy is only something we should strive to be for our husbands.
ReplyDeleteYes :) Today's culture (and sadly, even some Christian ladies) tries to tell us (wives) that dressing/acting sexy in front of other people (and not just for our husbands) is ok because then our husbands can enjoy us all the time. But the problem with that is - then all the men we come into contact with enjoy us, too - simply by what they see! That is how much our dress/actions affect the men around us, no matter how young or old they are. God actually commands for a different kind of purity after marriage - the purity of keeping each other for each other alone, and not overstepping those God-given bounds of marriage. Maybe someday I'll write a post about purity within marriage, too:)
DeleteThis is was another great post!
