Open-Faced Before God

<p>Air Date: 09 17 21</p> <p>2 Corinthians 4:6  |  For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as to beam forth the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ the Messiah.</p> <p> </p> <p>2 Corinthians 3:5   |  We don’t see ourselves as capable enough to do anything in our own strength, for our true competence flows from God’s empowering presence. He alone makes us adequate ministers who are focused on an entirely new covenant. Our ministry is not based on the letter of the law but through the power of the Spirit. The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit pours out life.</p> <p> </p> <p>2 Corinthians 3:17-18  |   Now, the “Lord” is the Holy Spirit, and wherever He is Lord, there is freedom. 18 We can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.</p> <p> </p> <p>The ministry of the new covenant is glorious: it imparts glory to those who receive it. What is this glory? God is and always will be invisible to man; what He showed us at various critical points in the Bible story was His glory. When finally we come into His presence we will participate in His glory; we too will be glorified. The ‘glory of God’ vividly summarizes, in a phrase, all the end-time blessings God will bestow upon His people. This is the hope of God’s people.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Listen to Abiding in Christ Ministries with radio host Lesha Cantrell Monday through Friday at 6:45am (MT) on AM670, KLTT in Colorado; online at 670kltt.com; or via your mobile device on the free KLTT app. May God richly bless you as you abide in Christ</p>
