GOD SPEAKS TO ME THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST,GOD REVEALS A PATTERN FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING IN CHRIST.
"ALL THE WAYS OF GOD ARE LOVING AND FAITHFUL FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THE DEMANDS OF GOD'S COVENANT".
"GOD CONFIDES IN THOSE WHO FEAR HIM; GOD MAKES HIS COVENANT KNOWN TO THEM".
"ALL THE WAYS OF GOD ARE LOVING AND FAITHFUL FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THE DEMANDS OF GOD'S COVENANT".
"GOD CONFIDES IN THOSE WHO FEAR HIM; GOD MAKES HIS COVENANT KNOWN TO THEM".
"GOD WILL INSTRUCT HIM IN THE WAY CHOSEN FOR HIM"
THE GLORY OF THE NEW COVENANT:
NOW IF THE MINISTRY THAT BROUGHT DEATH, WHICH WAS ENGRAVED IN LETTERS ON STONE, CAME WITH GLORY, SO
THAT THE ISRAELITES COULD NOT LOOK STEADILY AT THE FACE OF MOSES BECAUSE OF ITS GLORY, FADING THOUGH
IT WAS, WILL NOT THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT BE EVEN MORE GLORIOUS? IF THE MINISTRY THAT CONDEMNS MEN
IS GLORIOUS, HOW MUCH MORE GLORIOUS IS THE MINISTRY THAT BRINGS RIGHTEOUSNESS! FOR WHAT WAS GLORIOUS HAS NO GLORY NOW IN COMPARISON WITH THE SURPASSING GLORY. AND IF WHAT WAS FADING AWAY CAME WITH GLORY, HOW MUCH MORE GREATER IS THE GLORY OF THAT WHICH LAST!
THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE SUCH A HOPE, WE ARE VERY BOLD. WE ARE NOT LIKE MOSES, WHO PUT A VEIL OVER HIS FACE TO KEEP THE ISRAELITES FROM GAZING AT IT WHILE THE RADIANCE WAS FADING AWAY. BUT THERE MINDS WERE MADE DULL, FOR TO THIS DAY THE SAME VEIL REMAINS WHEN THE OLD COVENANT IS READ. IT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED, BECAUSE ONLY IN CHRIST IS IT TAKEN AWAY. EVEN TO THIS DAY WHEN MOSES IS READ, A VEIL COVERS THEIR HEARTS. BUT WHENEVER ANYONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY. NOW JESUS IS THE SPIRIT, AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF JESUS IS, THERE IS FREEDOM. AND WE, WHO WITH UNVEILED FACES ALL REFLECT JESUS GLORY, ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO
JESUS LIKENESS WITH EVER-INCREASING GLORY, WHICH COMES FROM JESUS WHO IS THE SPIRIT.(2Cor.3:7-18)
THE GOD OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED THE MINDS OF UNBELIEVERS, SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD.(2Cor.4:4)
CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANK'S BE TO GOD. AMEN!
