Clothe Yourself with the Dignity and Strength of the Gospel

Mar 1, 2012 by desiringvirtue

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27 ESV)

 

“Strength and dignity are her clothing…” (Proverbs 31:25 ESV)

 

“…likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control.” (1 Timothy 2:9 ESV)

“We women are God’s image-bearers; that’s where our dignity comes from. First God made us in His image; then He bought us. Christ’s purchase made us children of God, joint-heirs with Him–a position of highest rank. The woman clothed with “strength and dignity” will behave in a manner worthy of her honored position. She knows who she is, and she carries herself with that assurance–not to impress or intimidate anyone but to honor her Creator and Redeemer.” (Disciplines of a Godly Woman)
