Day 242 Bible Readings – 2 Corinthians 3: 17-18 (ESV)

1 Chronicles 35-36, 2 Corinthians 3, Psalm 121

2 Corinthians 3: 17-18 (ESV)

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”

Paul reminds us in Verses 17 and 18 from 2 Corinthians 3 that we have the freedom to see the glory of God without a veil like Moses because of presence of the Holy Spirit. We have that freedom because of Jesus Christ who gave us the Holy Spirit through his resurrection. When we behold the image of God, we are also being transformed by God into his same image because of the Holy Spirit. Because of the grace of Jesus Christ, we do not have to do anything because beholding the glory of God will transform us.

Believing in Jesus Christ gives us so much freedom because of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works like an intermediary between us and God. Working with the Holy Spirit will transform us inside and out because of the grace of Jesus Christ.  

These verses also remind me of this song we sing at the church which incorporates verse 17 –

Enjoy!
