What is Beautiful To You?

What is beautiful to you may not be the same for me. There may be some things we agree to are beautiful. But, mostly, our understanding of what is beautiful is defined by our previous conditioning. Our understanding of beauty got radically transformed by sin. 

Satan, before falling glorified God in the middle of what is truly beautiful. The presence of God, God Himself. Adam and Eve enjoyed the beauty of God's presence before sin. They heard the beautiful Word of God every evening.

We were separated because of sin from one another in our understanding of what is beautiful, but today we are united in Christ about one beautiful thing. That is the beauty of bringing the gospel to the world around us (Isaiah 52:7).

What is beautiful about preaching the gospel? 

1. We publish peace 

2. We preach the Word that saves souls from hell 

Dear believer, what a privilege it is for us to even know Christ! We can agree on this one thing for sure the gospel is beautiful. The world needs the peace and salvation that Jesus alone can give.

What happens when we preach the beautiful gospel? Those who hear the Word, and apply, grow in faith. (Romans 10:15-17)

We carry the light burden of obedience when we humbly listen to God's Word and let the power of the Holy Spirit carry the Word out in and through our lives.

May God help us grow from faith to faith and glory to glory as we approach His imminent return. Praise God, and Amen.
