“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (v.18)
Today's passage says that, as believers, we all reflect the Lord's glory with unveiled faces, and are continually being transformed into His image. Meaning, for us the veil is torn, we may behold His glory, through His Word, by the help of His Spirit. This does not happen overnight, it’s a lifelong process of looking at Jesus through the Scriptures, learning about Him, worshipping Him, and applying His Word to our daily lives. And the more we do just that, the more we will reflect His image.
Therefore, let's put in the time and allow the Master to mold and shape us into the men and women He would have us to be, that we might reflect Him and not the world around us. As Paul would say, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2). For we are not yet what we will be, but we are not now what we were. Hallelujah!
The Truth: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)
