Girls, we can learn how to make changes on the outside with little ‘tricks of the trade’ but only Jesus can change us on the inside. Only HE can transform us to be all we can be. How? When we find our identity in Christ and become conformed to His likeness.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Christ-like Character – “Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philippians 4:8).
Charming – “Therefore, as God’s chosen people (women), holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience…and over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:12,14).
Committed – “…It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:24).
Class – “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14)
Changed – “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2).
Cultured – “(She) who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for (her) friend” (Proverbs 22:11).
Courageous – “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7).
As you memorize these verses, they become a part of your heart. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 119:11 “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
So what’s a C-7 Girl? One who becomes connected to Christ as she finds her identity in Him, becomes conformed to His character, and hides His Word in her heart.
