Good to be in God's word together here as a church. And one of our core values here at Bethel is the unapologetic preaching of God's word. And what that means for us is that if God says it, we say it. K?God says it, we say it. Unapologetically is what it says, and then we try to apply it to our life. That's easy when there are there are truths that are sort of palatable. They feel right. They feel sort of normal.The challenge is when we are dealing with something where God's word swims against the current of culture, swims against what sort of feels normal to us. And the passage that we have in front of us today is one of those. I'm warning you. It's one of those. Where God what God says and what culture and what feels normal to us are diametrically opposed to one another.This will be a test, I think, for our hearts regarding where our authority really lies. So with that said, we're in First Peter three. Our series continues. We're preaching through First Peter. And the context for this these verses, verses three and four, is especially critical to realize that Peter is writing to Christians who are in a context where there is hostile Christianity or hostility towards Christianity all around them.And they're struggling with how do I live out my faith? How do I live as a Christian around people that don't religiously believe at all what I believe? I mean, Christianity says there's one God, one Lord, one savior, one way, and his name is Jesus. And the pluralism of the first century Greco Roman world said the opposite. There are many gods and there are many ways.And so Christianity just religiously was in conflict with the culture around them. Not only was it religiously in conflict, it was also morally in conflict. If you read through first century Roman history, you will find that that culture was highly sexualized, highly sensualized. In fact, as an example, read the accounts of the cities of Corinth and Pompeii, and you will find a level of sexual promiscuity that would even make our culture blush. If you look at, for example, the statues of Rome, and maybe you've seen these if you go to the art center in Chicago or maybe you've seen them in your history books, the the the highly idealized human form, very smooth, very perfect.The the men and the women in various levels of dress or undress. The women in particular presented in very sexualized, very alluring ways. It gives you a sense of what it was like to live in that culture. So in the midst of a very sexualized culture, you have these Christian women who heard the gospel, now married to an unbelieving husband who didn't believe, and they're asking themselves, how do we, like, present ourselves when the culture sees us as sexualized objects when it's just all around us that we are to flaunt our sensualities. How do we do this?And how do I do this in a way that my husband, who doesn't believe, might actually come to believe? Is this about me gussying myself up and him becoming a Christian from it? Or what do we do? Peter writes then to this very issue. And what we're gonna find here is that Christianity is freedom from obsession about external appearance.Christianity is freedom from the obsession about my identity being in my looks. Or for women, and dear sisters here, the sexualizing of your appearance for acceptance by men or others. It is freedom from that. So that's where we're going here today. It is freedom to allow the beauty of Christ, that Christ likeness to be formed within you and for that to be your source of beauty.And this is where Peter is going now. So let me read First Peter three verses one through four, and then we'll get into it. Here's what God's word says. “Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives. When they see your respectful and pure conduct, do not let your adorning be external, the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry or the clothing you wear.”“But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.” Alright. Our focus today is on verses three and four. And you'll notice in both of these verses, the word that is repeated is that word adorning. Okay?Adorning in verse three is not to be external. Adorning in verse four is to be ...
