2 Corinthians 3:18
2 Corinthians 3:18
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.
When man sinned, the greatest disaster was losing the privilege of accessing God’s glory without hindrance. What the Lord Jesus came for was to reinstitute the path to experiencing the glory of God again through the channel of the Spirit. This is the unveiled approach to seeing God. Every other way after the fall of man until eternity will never show man the true, holy glory of God. Now, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. How does that happen? By the entrance of the Holy Spirit. This gives that person access to God because only the Spirit of God can make this possible. Formerly, only a few people were given this privilege to have the Spirit at certain periods and have a fruitful fellowship with God. But in these last days, as many that receive Him will be given the power to become the sons of God. (John 1:12). This power is the power to walk with God and put the body of sin under subjection. It is the power to seek God and find Him. It is the power to behold Him in His glory and splendor and be transformed into superior versions that step closer to the perfection of God. The Spirit of God will empower us to seek Him daily in prayer, worship, studying the word, and living out the will of God. However, we must be ready to succumb to His nudge when we feel His invitation to behold His glorious splendor.
John 17:22
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one.
Exodus 13:21
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:.
Isaiah 42:8
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another.
Psalms 104:31
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
