Being Transformed by the Spirit into the Glory of New Jerusalem

“We all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:18).

When we stay in the death of Christ, not only does Christ secrete His resurrection life around us, but also we behold Him, we look at His face, we appreciate Him, and we love Him. This affords the Spirit within us a great opportunity to move and to bring in more riches of the Divine Trinity into our being to transform us (2 Cor. 3:18). Transformation is a metabolic work. The divine element is added to us, and this element replaces our old nature metabolically.*

The divine element added into us is the constituent of New Jerusalem. The replaced old nature has nothing to do with this excellent city. The Triune God is the only one able to impart New Jerusalem into us and He does this gladly to the extent we cooperate with Him.

Daily, hourly, even more often, we can declare, Lord, I love You, I turn my heart to You! Let the Spirit’s work transform me and all around me!
