Progressive Transformation

UV 3422/10000 Progressive Transformation
And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from ( one degree of ) glory to (even more) glory, which comes from the Lord, ( who is) the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3 v 18

The veil between God and man having been torn asunder by God Himself at the time Jesus died on the cross had blinded us this far from seeing, knowing, experiencing the glory of God. But now that the veil has been removed, we can see in the mirror of the Word of God His glory and we can see His glory in our life’s experiences as long as we are living in this world based on the Word. We cannot see His glory directly as we would be blinded by its brightness and effulgence. Hence, we see His reflection in the mirror of the Word and in our experiences over time. The Word is the source of our insight, our thoughts, our perceptions, our perspectives. It guides our choices and leads us into eternal life. Our lives cannot be ordinary anymore for we have moved from darkness to light, from death to immortality, from falsehood to truth, from curses to blessings, from ignorance to knowledge and His wisdom.

As long as we are living in fellowship with the Spirit of God, we are on the path of progressive transformation, transformation of our goals, transformation of our thoughts, transformation of our speech, transformation of our relationships, transformation of our emotions, transformation of our behaviour, transformation of our destiny, transformation of our work, transformation of our perspectives. We need to examine ourselves and check if every day, we are one degree at least better than the previous day. The things we used to think, say, do yesterday we should no longer do today as we have experienced the glory of the Lord.

The Spirit of God reveals to us the glory of His love, its dimensions and nature so that we are daily transformed by His love. He reveals to us the glory of His power so that we dailyb experience His power and are helped by it to face our daily challenges. He reveals to us the glory or greatness of His wisdom so that we daily learn from it. He reveals to us the greatness of His grace so that we daily depend on it. He reveals to us the greatness of His mercy so that we daily avail it. With Jesus in our hearts and in our lives, change is inevitable, growth is certain, fruitfulness is assured.
