RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 5TH MARCH 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE SPIRIT OF TRANSFORMATION.
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 from the Lord, the Spirit 2 Corinthians 3:18.
The days immediately following our conversion to Christ, we have a great sense of sinful unworthiness and yet a powerful attraction to Jesus Christ. We respond that way because we now know that Jesus Christ represents all we were created to be.
Today's Scripture is an excellent short description of the Spirit's transforming work. We won't see the glory of the Lord perfectly right away, but to see it with greater clarity once we know Jesus Christ by faith. Paul is referring to our basic sanctification, which is a progressive process by which the Spirit changes us from one level of Christlikenesss to another.
The end result will be our glorified position in Heaven, which is the Holy Spirit's goal for us and the reason for our hope. The Spirit reveals what we will be in Christ: Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see Him just as He is (1 John 3:2).
