BEAUTY
Beauty in Scripture is closely joined with goodness, holiness, worship, and the glory of God. The Bible presents beauty in creation, sacred worship, speech, and the promised dwelling of God, while also directing attention from outward appearance to spiritual character.
Biblical Usage
The Bible speaks of beholding the beauty of the Lord, beauty in God’s sanctuary, and the beauty of the final city. The tabernacle, ark, priestly service, temple, psalms, and parables use beauty to serve worship and moral instruction. Scripture also directs attention from outward appearance toward righteousness and holiness.
