BEAUTY 4: CHILDREN OF GOD

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Beauty

a) Inner beauty is inside each of us.  We are all beautiful in God’s eyes as we are created in the image of God.  God doesn’t make junk.  However, many people don’t feel beautiful inside.  We are often smothered by a lack of confidence and even a lack of acceptance of other people.  It is easy to compare ourselves to others especially when we compare our outward appearance.  

b) God’s word makes it clear that we are all beautiful to Him.   

2 Corinthians 4:16

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

2. Children Of God

Genesis 1:26  
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Colossians 3:12  
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.

1 John 3:1  
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that bit did not know him.

The End ...
