Good Morning Beauties!
I woke up today with a question. How does our righteousness make us beautiful? What do you think? Selah. Let’s look one more time at each attribute in this verse, and determine where our beauty is revealed.
We are saved. Knowing we have been rescued and will one day live with God in Heaven for eternity, we can feel secure and be at peace. No more doubt, worry, or fear.
We are sanctified. The Holy Spirit is maturing us each and every day. We are not saved, and then expected to behave in a perfect manner. Our growth in holiness takes time, so we can rest knowing there is no pressure to perform, no need to strive to be better, no more guilt when we fail.
We are forgiven. God has not only forgiven every sin we’ve ever committed or will ever commit, He doesn’t even remember them. Jesus allows us to live free from the prison of shame.
We are justified. God has removed the penalty of our sin - just as if we’ve never sinned. What joy He brings us to know we have His mercy and will not have to be punished as we deserve.
So if you add everything up, here’s how our righteousness makes us beautiful:
God removes the curses and lies of the enemy such as doubt, worry, fear, pressure, striving, guilt, shame, and punishment. He then bestows the gifts of security, peace, rest, freedom, and joy. When we walk in the blessings of God, others will see Him in our actions, speech, and appearance. They will see beauty.
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling extremely grateful to Jesus who gave His life so I could have an amazing life here on Earth, and then live in all glory with Him in Heaven for eternity. Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
