Spiritual “veils” or blinders separate people from seeing Jesus and His work for us clearly.
How do we get an unveiled face? We turn to the Lord.
Jesus is more than able to take veils away.
This points to the essential need of Bible reading, prayer, and Christian fellowship.
"Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." [2]
The Spirit of God liberates us from the veils that would keep us from clearly beholding and receiving God's glory. He transforms us from the inside out.
Everyone wants to know, “How can I change?” The best and most enduring change comes into our life when we are transformed by time spent with the Lord.
The work of transformation is a continual progression from glory to glory.
Transformation really is God’s work in us by His Spirit. We simply put ourselves in a place where the Spirit of the Lord can transform us. [3]
