Event Recap
The women gathered together for an edifying time at our first ever Designed for Beauty event titled “Changed in a Moment”! Michelle taught us from 2 Corinthians 5:17 that at the moment of salvation we are completely and permanently changed to have a new nature in Christ’s likeness! Because God has made us new, we are beautiful and can love beauty through our pursuit of holiness! We can strive to live out the beauty of being freed from sin, slaves of righteousness, and temples of the living God!
Before we were saved, we thought the ugly and sinful things of the world were beautiful. But after we were saved, we can see rightly from God’s perspective what is truly beautiful which is holiness and righteousness (Ephesians 4:22-24)! We are reborn to be beautiful and to be God’s temples which are holy in all areas of life (1 Corinthians 6:19).
However, sadly sometimes believers can return to what is ugly. Michelle challenged us to consider the imagery of a beautiful living body that digs up a rotten corpse to put it on her body. That is the imagery of a beautiful redeemed woman of God who chooses to sin and put on what is ugly. Examples of ugliness include when a Christian is lukewarm in her faith (Revelations 3:16-18), holds onto idols and sins in her life (Ezekiel 8:6-12), or commits sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18).
As women who have been made beautiful, we have Christ living in us now which produces humility, thankfulness, and living out the beauty God gives us in our daily decisions! Ladies, let us pursue holiness and what is beautiful by seeking what glorifies God and befits Him!
