What makes a woman beautiful in God's eyes? ›

God uses His Word to transform you into a woman of divine power who reflects His beauty. This is what makes a woman beautiful in God's eyes. Once you begin to see your transformation taking hold, other aspects of your life will be different.

Being beautiful in God's eyes means being true to yourself and God's word and not compromising your body or yourself to fit into any secular mold. True beauty comes from the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 3:3-4

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornments, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.”

First Chronicles 16:29 is one of the places where we read of beauty: "Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!" (NKJV). This passage conjoins the holiness and glory of God with respect to the idea of beauty.

God gave us beauty, because through it we bear His image (Genesis 1:27). So many Christian women walk around telling themselves their not allowed to be beautiful and consequently miss out on what God designed them to be. ​True beauty is much deeper than what the world perceives it to be.

What does beauty mean spiritually? ›

It is an experience of the heart, mind, and soul. Beauty comes from our willingness to see the perfection in what we often call the “imperfections” of life. To find beauty in each experience, perhaps our role is less about creating it and more about recognizing that it's already here.

So it is beautiful to God because when a woman has a peaceful soul — not fretting about how she looks — it shows that God is her portion and she is banking on God. And that is right there in verse 5.

He is perfect everything. All He is matches every good desire we possess. God's beauty is the bouquet of His perfections in His person, unveiled in His purposes, and displayed in His glory. Another aspect of divine beauty is the infinity of God, which means, literally, that He is 'nonfinite'.
