Transformed in Glory

I have written about earthly and heavenly body glory and now I write of the transformation in glory.

“¹⁸And 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.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18 (ESV)

The resurrection transformation and the transformation in glory resemble one another in that it is a heavenly transformation made possible by God. We are to turn to Him even as we walk this world. We accept salvation from Him for our glory and we are granted the glory of heaven as we pass from death to life in Him.

¹⁰Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all because of the glory that surpasses it. ¹¹For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. ¹⁶But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. ¹⁷Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” – 2 Corinthians 3:10-11 & 16-17 (ESV)

I am a sinner in need of saving and transformation. I will and do find saving and transformation in the glory of the Lord as He hands it over to me with my dedication and followership of Him. As I follow the Lord, I am transformed from this earthly glory that fades and dies with me, to the heavenly glory that only God can and will give to me.

What glory are you more looking for? Are you satisfied with the glory you have here in this world that is dying every day? What if you sought out God and the glory He gives to be transformed?
