#We with unveiled faces full

And the Holy Spirit, in His grace, is transforming and transfiguring my new nature, day by day, into the image and likeness of the lovely Lord Jesus Christ. It is the new baby-life-in-Christ that was given to me when I first trusted Him as Saviour that is to grow in grace. Second Corinthians 3:18 says, But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the.

#We with unveiled faces full

The old 'me' died in Christ at the Cross of Calvary, when His blood paid the full price and penalty for my sins. I have a new, baby life in Christ which has to grow in grace and mature in the faith. Rather, He has exchanged my old sinful nature for a new-life in Christ. It is not the old, fallen, Adamic nature we inherited from our parent that is to be transformed.

It is not the old sin nature that is being changed. As creatures who seek happiness, this is the great Happiness to come, the moment when we, at last, stand face to face before our God to perceive him visually and immediately and more. Make us the ones looking into Your glorious face. She’s in there she might be badly bruised and covered with all sorts of muck, but she’s in there. Lord Jesus, in this dark age, keep us looking away to You and You alone. It is a beautiful paradox that the more God’s we become, the more ourselves we becomethe self he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory into glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. Lord may we continually behold and reflect You You Lord are so so beautiful Lord, thank You for Your transformation work within us.

This concept of unveiled can be easily overlooked if we neglect the many years before when a clear veil stood in the way between God and humanity. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. The verse says, And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord ’ s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. And yet the verse tells us that as we continue to gaze into His loveliness and drink deeply of His grace, we too will start to be transformed into His glorious likeness, as we pass from one stage of glory to the next. Christians have long called this great promise the beatific vision, meaning the sight that makes happy. 16 but whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. This act of seeing, of understanding, the nature of Christ begins the process through which God transforms His children into the image of Christ. We can now see Him for who and what He is.

There is so much packed into this glorious verse of Scripture, that one could spend a lifetime looking as into a mirror at the glory of the Lord, and that would suffice. With the veil gone, all those in Christ have unveiled faces, boldly looking at Christ, who is the glory of God.
