Christ Jesus makes us more beautiful.
The beauty of our soul is it’s holiness.
How does the soul become more holy?
2 Cor. 3:18 by “beholding”. Specifically, by “beholding the glory of God” in the person/Person and work of Jesus Christ!
Who God is and What He is like?
He is holy, sinless, pure and other than any created being.
Then while thinking of Who he is and what He is like we then get a right view of ourselves in relation to Him. Who I am. What I am like in relation to Him. Now, is our heart response worship, love, reverence, awe, delight, joy, gratitude or a lower view of myself, for theses are proper heart response. The heart becomes more beautiful and is changed from one level of glory to another when the soul views itself lower than before in relation to God. Humility is a right view of God in relation to us with a proper heart response.
Degree of humility determines one’s beauty! The beauty of the soul depends upon it’s level of humility.
“Dark am I, yet lovely.” Solomon’s song of songs 1:5 The bride see’s herself properly that she sins and that her unredeemed flesh is dark and evil, yet she is lovely, beautiful and fit to please God. Young Solomon see’s the young born-again Gentile as “the most beautiful of women” 1:8 due to her having this right view of herself.
God chose you as a bride for Christ Jesus! Do you want to be beautiful for your wedding with Christ Jesus after you die?
Then make yourself humbler! Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. Humble yourself and submit to God. Dark am I, yet infinitely lovely in Christ Jesus! See the love of God in your husband/Husband and be humbled.
Beauty of the soul consists in degree of Humility.
How high and right is my idea of God in Christ?
Limitless. Infinite. And I am finite and small in comparison.
He is uncreated and always existed. I am created by Him and have my existence by Him.
He is holy. Which means He does no evil, there is no shadow of turning in Him, there is no impurity in Him for He is Holy. He is other than us. Other than us.
He, My Holy Gop, has no evil and I am nothing but evil in and of myself. Every thought and intention of my heart is only evil all the time. Until born-again. Until the Spirit of God comes to dwell in your heart, by faith.
He is the Head and I am the body of Christ Jesus, the Son of God.
Clear Directions
Learn about God by reading the Bible! You won’t fully understand all that your reading but what you do get, keep listening and obey for the joy of it! This learning of God will give you a higher view of Him. Whatever you knew of God, now your knowledge of Him is a higher and the view of yourself is lower.
The greater your sense of how evil sin is, is dependent upon the degree of holiness or beauty of the heart.
Have a proper heart response to this greater higher view of God!
Depending on the truth thought of various heart responses are
Love, Joy, Peace, Delight, Awe,
Degree of Beauty depends on the degree of Humility.
Beholding or contemplating God and His Glory! His Son is His Glory. We partake of the Nature of God who is love.
Behold the Glory, see Him view myself, proper heart response.
The degree of humility consisting in 3 things. 1 our view or idea of God. 2 Our view of ourself in relation to Him. 3 And lastly, the degree of humility depends on the degree of truth seen about ourselves in relation to God with a proper heart response. The feelings will be holy. Have the glory of God, his beauty in view or beholding.
The degree of the experiential knowledge of God in Christ Jesus! “Grow in the knowledge and grace of God in Christ.”
The degree of Humility. As the soul goes from one level of glory to another so also it goes from one level of love to another for” love is not prideful”. A clearer view of self in relation to God is humbling. Going from one level of humility to another.
The degree of Humility A lower view of self in relation to God. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. ” Right view, that of having no good thing in me. Spiritually bankrupt and poor in Spirit.
Degree of fearlessness. This degree of fearlessness is beautiful because as she gets closer to God the degree of fearlessness in Christ Jesus gets stronger. I mean, we see God and fear punishment from Him because we see ourselves better and more evil than before and judge ourselves, woe to us and may fear punishment from God and feel as if we are not standing in His favor. But we are in His Infinitely gracious favor because of who Jesus is and what He has done for me at the cross. I mean if we do good works to ease our conscience apart from Christ Jesus is self-righteousness. The soul that is self righteous is an abomination to God. The soul that has Christ’s righteousness credited to it’s account is an infinitely beautiful soul not due to me obeying God but for Christ Jesus doing an act of love that has an infinite value.
Quicker responses. Obey without delay.
Degree of holy zeal!
Purity of motives! (not to earn God’s favor) Being fearless of punishment is a pure motive. Love casts out fear of punishment. Do it because it is good or right! Obeying for these reasons are good holy reasons that come from a morally excellent heart of love.
The souls level of glory or beauty and how it goes from one level to another is seen in 2 Cor. 3:18
18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
Thank you for your response. ✨
