What exactly is TRUE BEAUTY? Well... quite simply, TRUE BEAUTY is NOT the genetic make up given to an individual at the moment of conception. How many millions have been deceived into thinking that their genetic make up or human "beauty" is actually their true self. Oh deceived one. The world's history is full of the "beautiful" who fill the world's graves and have been long forgotten. We as persons live in these bodies which gives us access to outwork life here in time in this physical world but our bodies and genetic make up is not who we are.
The beauty of a man or woman is only for a moment and then as a flower
of summer blooms with great wonderment and glory unto the GLORY of the
CREATOR, wilts and fades away FOREVER.
The beauty of a man or woman is only for a brief moment and then as a flower of summer blooms with great wonderment and glory unto the GLORY of the ALL WISE ETERNAL CREATOR (Matt. 6:27-30), wilts and fades away FOREVER (Job, 14:2, Psalm 103:15-17, Prov. 31:30, 1 Peter 1:24. 1 John 2:16-18, Rev. 20:11-15)! Dear friends, look at the outward "beautiful" of our America's Hollywood past. They were all here for a moment to shine and are now FOREVERMORE gone. Thus our beauty and flesh is but mortal, brief, corrupt, vain and dust... and has NO abode in ETERNITY FUTURE (Rom. 5:7:18-25, 1 Cor. 15:50, 2 Cor. 5:1-4, John 3:6). However, our person soul and spirit - which dwells in this temporal fallen body of flesh - is ETERNAL and will either dwell in ETERNITY'S prison in perdition (the Lake of Fire- Rev. 20:11-15) or in Glory redeemed from this body of flesh (Rom. 7:24-25, Cor. 15:50-58, Rev. 21, 22:1-5).
TRUE BEAUTY is our greatest need in the light of ETERNITY'S RIGHTEOUS PERFECT DEMANDS.
This pinnacle of wondrous beauty is nothing less than the glorious RIGHTEOUSNESS that Almighty God has provided for His fallen creation. This BEAUTY is found nowhere else but in Christ Jesus, the Savior of the whole world (Rom. 10:4; 2 Cor. 5:21).
"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints" (Rev 19:6-8).
When one places their absolute trust in Jesus Christ and His saving grace, that individual is given the BEAUTY of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and ETERNAL Life (Psalms 7:17; 90:17; John 3:16,17).
God takes on Himself our shame and sinful hideousness, and He bestows on us the BEAUTY of His RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalms 17:15; Isaiah 61:1-3; 64:6; Rom. 4:6, 22-24; 5:4; 1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 5:17; 1 John 3:2).
Oh, how will the redeemed of Almighty God shine and rejoice forever in the ETERNAL BEAUTY of the Lord! (Dan. 12:3; Matt. 13:43; 1 Cor. 2:9).
What About You?
.
May I ask you this very sobering question? Do you possess the Beauty of Righteousness that is found only in Jesus Christ? The Bible states in Isaiah 64:6 that “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags [bloody menstrual cloths].” All earthly beauty will fade away, as countless millions have experienced and could testify. Only the BEAUTY of Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS (state of perfection) will endure FOREVER (Matt. 13:43; Rev. 22:11).

You do not know what will happen tomorrow (Proverbs 27:1). If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, may you do so even now by making that conscious decision to receive Him into your heart and life. Then shall your beauty endure FOREVER as the stars of FOREVER, and bliss and joy will you know forevermore (Matt 13:43; 1 Cor. 2:9). Place your trust in Him TODAY. Behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2)! You will NEVER be the same!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
