Tenet #2: Christian Aesthetic is related to the Glory of God.

I hope to show that the Beauty of God is ultimately related to the Glory of God that surrounds His presence and His Throne. There are many verses in scripture where God's creation is referenced as beautiful. I think most Christians would agree that Creation is a first testimony to God's existence as seen through His Beauty. I think this is very significant and an often overlooked facet of our coming to God in faith. His creation on earth is just a hint of the beauty and Glory that we get to experience in His presence at the throne. Then as we grow up, we take creation for granted... we take simple beauty for granted and we never reflect on our response to God much past the age of childhood when we marveled at God and felt an awe to his presence. As we grow, not only do we get lazy and stop reflecting on God's glory, we don't even think about how we should reflect.
