Character: Spiritual Beauty Versus Ungodliness.
Bible
Texts:
Psalm
27:4 KJV
One
thing have I desired of The Lord, that will I seek after; that I may
dwell in the house of The Lord all the days of my life, to behold the
beauty of The Lord, and to enquire in His temple.
I
Peter 3:3,4 NLT
3
Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty...
4
You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from
within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so
precious to God.
The
Word, Spiritual Beauty:
I
Samuel 16:7 KJV
But
The Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the
height of his stature; because I have refused him: for The Lord seeth
not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but The
Lord looketh on the heart.
Isaiah
52:7 NLT
How
beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings
Good News, the Good News of peace and salvation, the news that The
God Of Israel reigns!
Romans
8:6 NLT
So
letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But
letting The Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
II
Corinthians 4:16 KJV
For
which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the
inward man is renewed day by day.
Galatians
3:26,27 NLT
26
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27
And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on
Christ, like putting on new clothes.
Ephesians
2:10 NLT
For
we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago
Ephesians
5:25-27 KJV
25
"...Christ...loved the church, and gave Himself for it;
26
That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by
The Word,
27
That He might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish.
Philippians
4:8 KJV
Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be
any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Revelation
21:2 KJV
And
I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband.
The
Word, Spiritual Ungodliness:
II
Chronicles 35:15,16 KJV
15
And The Lord God of their fathers sent to them by His messengers,
rising up betimes, and sending; because He had compassion on His
people, and on His dwelling place:
16
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His Words, and
misused His prophets, until the wrath of The Lord arose against His
people, till there was no remedy.
Psalm
35:15,16 NLT
15
But they are glad now that I am in trouble; they gleefully join
together against me. I am attacked by people I don’t even know;
they slander me constantly.
16
They mock me and call me names; they snarl at me.
Psalm
52:1-3 KJV
1
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of
God endureth continually.
2
The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
3
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak
righteousness. Selah.
Psalm
73:8-11 NLT
8
They scoff and speak only evil; in their pride they seek to crush
others.
9
They boast against the very heavens, and their words strut throughout
the earth.
10
And so the people are dismayed and confused, drinking in all their
words.
11
“What does God know?” they ask. “Does The Most High even know
what’s happening?”
Proverbs
1:28-33 KJV
28
Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek
Me early, but they shall not find Me:
29
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of The
Lord:
30
They would none of My counsel: they despised all My reproof.
31
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled
with their own devices.
32
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the
prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33
But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet
from fear of evil.
Proverbs
3:33-35 KJV
33
The curse of The Lord is in the house of the wicked: but He blesseth
the habitation of the just.
34
Surely He scorneth the scorners: but He giveth grace unto the lowly.
35
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of
fools.
Proverbs
11:9 KJV
An
hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through
knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Proverbs
16:27 KJV
An
ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning
fire.
Isaiah
32:6,7 NLT
6
For fools speak foolishness and make evil plans. They practice
ungodliness and spread false teachings about The Lord. They deprive
the hungry of food and give no water to the thirsty.
7
The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes.
They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is
just.
Romans
1:18 KJV
For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold The Truth in unrighteousness;
I
Corinthians 6:9-11 NLT
9
Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the
Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual
sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male
prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
10
or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or
cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
11
Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made
holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of The Lord
Jesus Christ and by The Spirit Of Our God.
Ephesians
2:1-3 NLT
1
Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins.
2
You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the
devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the
spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
3
All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and
inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject
to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
I
Timothy 1:8-11 NLT
8
We know that The Law is good when used correctly.
9
For The Law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is
for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and
sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill
their father or mother or commit other murders.
10
The Law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice
homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who
do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching
11
that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed
God.
II
Timothy 2:16 KJV
But
shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness.
II Timothy 3:1-5 NLT (The Dangers of the Last
Days)
1
You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be
very difficult times.
2
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be
boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents,
and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3
They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and
have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
4
They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride,
and love pleasure rather than God.
5
They will act religious, but they will reject The Power that could
make them Godly. Stay away from people like that!
James
1:22-24 KJV
22
But be ye doers of The Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves.
23
For if any be a hearer of The Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a
man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgeteth what manner of man he was.
I
Peter 4:18 KJV
And
if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the
sinner appear?
II
Peter 2:2-10 KJV
4
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to
hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto
judgment;
5
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of
the ungodly;
6
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned
them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after
should live ungodly;
7
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the
wicked:
8
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing,
vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of temptations, and to
reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self
willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
II
Peter 3:7 KJV
But
the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same Word are kept
in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and
perdition of ungodly men.
Fairest
Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav’n can boast.
All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly,
Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer,
Than Thou, my Savior, art to me.
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine.
